It communicates to others via the internet faster than dialup.
Seriously, its just a mobile wi-fi connection but it'll do.
Finding semi-affordable was long in coming.

Chances are if they did IM each other they'd be able to send and receive files unlike some people.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

If I know Adam, and I do better than he wishes sometimes, he's not likely to ever have anything begins with "M" if he doesn't have to.
Besides if he wanted to file swap I'm sure he could. I'm thinkin he prolly has some form of an ftp program.
Anywho's that explains the part I was missing.

We don't even talk over MSN accounts (and pidgin fully supports them, to note) Gmail Talk has some wonky ass file transfer protocol that isn't part of normal XMPP. Therefore, you can't send files to it unless you're using the actual Google Talk client ... and fuck that.
Aaron, I'm not the guy who insists on having 7 clients for different protocols. I use one.
Low down: Aaron insists on files being emailed to him even though it takes forever instead of just getting a legitimate IM client. The thing I don't get is ... he could use pidgin or something instead of Google Talk and still use MSN Messenger for that ... and it would be identical to what he's doing now (since he uses two clients anyway)
He won't even try. That bitch.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

You've still never tried Pidgin (which is superior to Trillian in just about every way). It's constantly updated. As far as I know it has nearly all the features MSN requires, save for something super wonky.
You don't even use a dedicated client!? I hate you. You wouldn't be able to receive files ANYWAY.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.
