OK, what's the good AIM-type program for windows? Need something on my work computer here, but can't remember what the preferred program is.
Can't even shout, Can't even cry. The Gentlemen are coming by. Looking in windows, knocking on doors. They need to take seven, and they might take yours. Can't call to mom, can't say a word. You're gonna die screaming but you won't be heard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I like Trillian.

when in Windows, I second Trillian. Good multi-chat.

Awesome, thanks--I've used Trillian before, I just haven't had a PC in so long, I only remember Adium for my Mac! Have it now, yay.

Hey. New board.
I have heard a lot of good things about Miranda for Windows IMing too. Not that I've tried it.

Trillian! Though it can be resource-heavy.

Hey. New board.
Oh, wow, Pidgin is very clearly a cousin to Adium, my favorite ever IM program (Mac only). I didn't know about that! now I know what I'll be recommending to my Windows/Linux friends...

Is there a way I can convert an mp3 to a WMA file?
