113494 2003-01-13 07:15:00 Hi - I just deceided to put ICQ back on - as i haven't got round to putting it back on again since the pc upgrade. I was just wanting opinions on what the better version is, as the downloads have either: ICQ lite @ 1.7mb or ICQ Pro 2003a beta @ 3.6mb - recommendations would be appreciated, apart from the size difference which is obvious.
Thanks

113495 2003-01-13 07:28:00 When I decided to download ICQ, I got the Pro 2003a version, rather than going for what I see a cut-down version (less features and control I understand?). agent (30)
113496 2003-01-13 07:40:00 ICQ lite has all the functionality (read: less bloat) that most people will need.

But Trillian (http://www.trillian.cc) is darned good as well.

113497 2003-01-13 08:39:00 I would go for the full version, but if you only want it solely for instant messenging and nothing else, you won't need anything more than ICQLite Baldy (26)
113498 2003-01-13 09:33:00 The lite version has no chat window, which after all is probably the raison d'etre for ICQ. Terry Porritt (14)
113499 2003-01-14 08:12:00 Thanks for the feedback guys, I think i will opt for the full version -

>>>3The lite version has no chat window

Well i would be wanting one of those :D and I do use SMS a wee bit too - and its always good to know these things/options are there too i guess, even if you don't use some of the features alot.

Thanks Again - I am off to download it then :-)
