For those who do like IM, here's a Mac client.
As is apparently often the case, it may be useless with Yahoo, who takes a dim view of other folks connecting to its services, and has directly said that they will continue to change their protocols with the specific purpose of blocking services like this.
Yahoo's stated rationale is to prevent Spim, but some people seem to think they are just exhibiting typical big company possesiveness and greed.
Foo, I say, IM is not anything I use anyway. But for those who do, such deliberate blocking has to be annoying.

This is a Unix/Linux resource website. It contains technical articles about Unix, Linux and general computing related subjects, opinion, news, help files, how-to's, tutorials and more. We appreciate comments and article submissions.
Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.
Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.

"Yahoo's stated rationale is to prevent Spim, but some people seem to think they are just exhibiting typical big company possesiveness and greed."
For a company that is supposedly dedicated to stopping spam, spim and whatever, they sure don't do much about spam originating from their servers. They're right up there with AOL and MSN when it comes to spam sources.
