Easy Message - Unified IM for ICQ, MSN, Yahoo, and Aol

So far this program has been a breeze to use. Very very small and lite on system resources. Within a few minutes I had all four services running in one window. I haven't checked out all the features but what I've seen so far leads me to believe that it is as good as it's advertised to be.
