… and once again the Deutsche Post managed it to really annoy me. Their online-stamp-system uses PDFs with embedded JavaScript .. you have to click away about 5 warning messages, about remote connections, printing etc and you can print it only ONCE… of course you can print test pages from their PDF-JS-”Application” … I just hate it - it’s so stupid.

Since I am currently on a MacOSx trip and as for Linux there exist a lot of Instant Messagers - even GPLed ones.
I did a quick comparism:

• Proteus sadly does not seem to support SSL … after discovering this I dropped it instantly.
• Fire somehow does not want to work with my jabber.ccc.de-account (and does not get continued)
• Adium works perfectly

This comparisme got a lot shorter than planed, but the reasons are obvious I think. If you know any other IM-Client for MacOSx worth trying, please tell me.
