Khaled -
I beta tested NCQ and loved it. The author is thinking of making a AIM
plug-in as well as MSN-Messenger. I think NCQ has been written better than
Jabber merly because it's way out of Beta and was in beta less time. I could
be wrong, Jabber is like IRC... IRC is great, but I never really cared for
it. But it works.... I'll retry Jabber on my PC and Newton agai (yes I have
a PC in the bedroom... it's my dads....)
