Gaim 1.1.2 Released

If you have AIM, MSN, Yahoo! Messenger, and Jabber, then you have heard about Gaim. Just a heads-up for the veteran...For the newbie, Gaim is an instant messenger that allows you to have one program instead of many (commonly MSN Messenger, AIM, and Yahoo! Messenger). Wonderful application that allows you to talk to all your buddies, no matter if they are in different programs. (psssttt....'plus secret messages are capable')

• Linux version available
• Windows available: this is tricky, but easy. When you click on the link, just look for the "Windows Port" on the right side.
• Sorry, no Mac available. Besides, you got a Mac-grade A software in that box.
