No, not anymore. I used it in the past but now I use the normal

telephone since I got a flatrate. 



Well, it's untrue that you have a choice. For example, in Germany the

tax computation program that companies need runs only on Windows and

they *HAVE* to use it and to send it over the internet using it.

Same for 3D games: You don't have another chance than to use the BLOB

to play them.

Not at all. I never promoted the use of BLOBs, I promoted to get rid of

them. But still I'm forced to use them. Same for ICQ: I urge every ICQ

user nearly *DAILY* to switch to Jabber since the gateway sucks a lot.

I even got rid of ICQ once, but too many still wouldn't switch so now I

have it again :(.



I prefer free software and open standards, but canceling social

contacts because of that is just plain stupid. Most of my real life

friends sadly use ICQ and won't switch. I'm glad that I got a telephon

flatrate now and don't need to use Skype anymore.
