So long, it's been swell

Microsoft have just announced that they're locking third-party clients out of the MSN network, to force you to view ads protect you from terrorists. The lock-out takes effect on October 15. Given that I use Gaim, chances are I'll disappear from MSN after that date.

I will still be contactable via ICQ, AIM, Yahoo! Instant Messenger and Jabber; see my User Info page for details. If you're looking for a Windows client that does multiple systems, I'm told that Trillian is quite good.
