everyone does, it even says on the website

turning on my computer? lol! because you sincerly think that I shutdown my computer? :). I'm not running Linux so there's no need for me to reboot my computer every week :p

As for the hardest thing I had to do in Plus! was to learn how to interact with Messenger. Everything else is just time: youV'e got time? you can do the same kind of addon, it just takes C++ and Windows API knowledge.

When I say time, it includes the fact that I have to give support (good thing this forum exists :)), think about features that the average user is capable to use etc... you see, adding features to Plus! is not a problem, what is difficult and time consuming is thinking about a way to bring a new feature the the user.

Hope it answers your question,
Patchou

I believe the most difficult part with Plus! is to find a stable, not buggy server with lotsa bandwith....
