Compatibility. I desirably want a good im that uses most major services. i did use trillian but since it hasn't been updated in so long. than gui and pretty stuff next. of course nothing looking like windows 98ish is impressive but compatibility is high for me.

i shall beta test.

I don't use MSN Messenger for its name. I use it for its features and because other people use it. :sleep:

I'm just saying iMessenger sounds like iNSTANT Messenger which is copyrighted by AOL they own the whole IM they have a patent, so becareful. :laugh:

Honestly the last thing I need is another IM Program.. can't you make a plugin for one of our already existing IM Apps.

hmmm i got all this

Yahoo, MSN, ICQ, AIM, XFIRE....ugh.. now another. :s

I don't use Trillian because I enjoy using the multimedia features of each application serperately.

the man has got a strong point there, why not just make a plugin for say miranda or something, which it'l be better since i already use it :p . Or you can go ahead an keep making the nMessenger as you said, hopefully many people will use. Good luck with it btw....

rotflmgdfao - yeah, all would be nice, but priorities:

1) interoperability between different messaging systems

2) Ability to load more than one instance of each type (I have 2 ICQ accounts, 1 yahoo, 1 AIM, 3 Messenger accounts, etc...)

3) very low resource consumption - in other words, write is in Assembly! (lol - all praise Steve Gibson)

Why is this called iMessenger, it's like something made by Apple.  How about calling it NeoIM or something.

dL

Sigh... Not Everything that has a "I" at the start has to do with apple and if apple dont like the sound of the messenger then we will simply change it. Plus "I" is A letter and Apple cant copyright a letter someone mentioned this before..

:whistle: :rolleyes: ;)

What will be the point of it? I can really see the attraction if its just for neowinians so you can just add people by neowin username etc.

I'm slightly worried that "Msn, Yahoo,Aim,Icq..Compatibility" is on that list ^ What would be the point in having neoIM at all if it was compatible? :wacko:

I am Adding a bit of Flash to it. :ninja: This Might Spice up the messenger you currently use, EG: Msn Messenger that uses The XML style. The Flash Will Probibly be the shell but i am not so sure for now i have tested it and it looks very nice. LE3 is Still Doing the Gui and i am still writing up the Program. But Remember The First Realese Will be In pure html then we convert to a full EXE :D

      Hello, It would appear so, according to https://finance.yahoo.com/news/how-to-hide-your-home-on-google-maps-apple-maps-204146687.html. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Hello, The Nvidia Founders Edition 3080 video card is approximately six years old, correct? Have you looked into whether replacement fans are available for it? Perhaps replacing those will improve cooling, especially when combined with cleaning the card's heatsink and replacing the thermal interface materials. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky  
    • DuRoBo Krono Review: Portable E-Ink reader with great ideas that need a bit of improvement

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, While ~104 GB of space may seem generous (at least compared to other e-readers which have 8-32GB), I feel at this price point the device should have a Micro SDXC card slot for expansion, particularly if it allows audio books to be installed and played. I hope to see more reviews of 6" phone-sized e-readers on Neowin in the future. It will be interesting to see how they compare. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8

      Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 by Razvan Serea Run programs in a sandbox to prevent malware from making permanent changes to your PC. Sandboxie allows you to run your browser, or any other program, so that all changes that result from the usage are kept in a sandbox environment, which can then be deleted later. Sandboxie is a sandbox-based isolation software for 32- and 64-bit Windows NT-based operating systems. It is being developed by David Xanatos since it became open source, before that it was developed by Sophos (which acquired it from Invincea, which acquired it earlier from the original author Ronen Tzur). It creates a sandbox-like isolated operating environment in which applications can be run or installed without permanently modifying the local or mapped drive. An isolated virtual environment allows controlled testing of untrusted programs and web surfing. Sandboxie is available in two flavors Plus and Classic. Both have the same core components, this means they have the same level of security and compatibility. What's different is the user interface the Plus build has a modern Qt based UI which supports all new features that have been added since the project went open source. The Classic build has the old no longer developed MFC based UI, hence it lacks support for modern features, these features can however still be used when manually configured in the Sandboxie.ini. Sandboxie Plus 1.17.8 / Classic 5.72.8 release notes: Added added DisableCustomTitleOpt=[process,][y|n] to allow [#] sandboxie title markers on custom-titlebar windows (Delphi VCL, Qt, Electron) that were previously skipped to prevent DWM repaint CPU loops #5387 Changed updated bundled ImDisk driver to 3.0.2 #5419 Fixed fix Suppress logs for expected non-user SIDs #5422 SbieSvc.exe: SBIE2218/2219 error when run program as administrator #5417 fixed explorer.exe crashes in Application Compartment when Huorong Security is installed #5423 Download: Sandboxie Plus (64-bit) | 23.5 MB (Open Source) Download: Sandboxie Classic (64-bit) | 3.0 MB Links: Sandboxie Website | GitHub | ARM64 | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • what other retro software do yall use

      By goretsky · Posted

      Hello, Christian Maas' XVI32 is a nice (and very small) hex editor. Speaking of hex editors, many years ago a colleague and I who both worked at Tribal Voice managed to edit a copy of the company's PowWow instant messaging client to make it behave better now that all of its lookup servers and other server-side tech was gone.  The program didn't support NAT (RFC-3022 was introduced in January 2001, the same time Tribal Voice was shuttered), but it still worked okay if you manually set up port-forwarding on your router.  The server at http://powwow.jazy.net/ hosts a copy (usual warnings about downloading and running untrusted code from random internet servers apply). I occasionally use some tools like Funduc Software's Search and Replace and Application Mover when I need to make mass-edits to text-based files or move programs with a hard-coded installation directories, respectively.  When I need to figure out the exact LCD panel inside of a laptop, EnTech Taiwan's Monitor Asset Manager is my go-to tool for that purpose. JD Design's website (now hosted on github.io) has a number of interesting freeware and shareware utilities.  I used to use their TouchPro utility to set the file timestamps on software I was mastering to match its version number (e.g., version 3.00 of a program had all of its files dates set to 3:00AM, and so forth). Karenware has a number of interesting freeware utilities, too. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
