Thanks for the info.

I had tried JAM, and the interface wasnt for me. Yahelite is OK, but it seems to periodically log me out. GAIM would do the same.

So I found Miranda IM.

I like the interface and it appears to be stable.

It's available on PortableFreeware too.

Thanks again.

Portable Linux

Anyone use portable linux distibutions?

A friend of mine recommends Puppy Linux. It's only 60 mb on your flash drive, and comes with many everyday apps.

Sounds like the ultimate portable freeware.

Anyone know of other good portable OS'??
