I agree it's a matter of taste. I hate IRC, it is just pure chaos to me. And I hate having to devote a window to that. With icq you can have tiny small floating squares that do not botehr at all and keep in touch constantly withe verybody.
And if you want to chat with more than one you can just get an IRC style window with iCQ too, so... :? However my ICQ is 4747568, TAYM. If any of the empeg people here wants to contact me I'll be more than happy :)
