Adium was / is such a fantastic piece of software. Connect to every relevant chat service from one native app. Infinite ways of customization, plugins and themes to install and all accounts under one unified contact list. The post made me feel sad—realizing what we had, and lost. Back when MSN (Was the de facto standard in Austria when the IM services got popular) a large chunk of my waking hours and nights were spend chatting with friends on Adium and later IRC. I just started Adium that I keep migrating from computer to computer to keep my custom icon even though I don't use it (Nostalgia I guess) and the apart from nobody being online the only message that greeted me was the ICQ message that it was turned off.
