just to tell you all, i sent out a message to Cat Shwartz and Sarah Lane of TechTV fame asking them to consider Plus! as a free file/Download of the day heres the basic body of the message i sent to Cat (the one to sarah wan't much different, just changed a little)
quote:
Cat-- first off, I love the show, and read your blog regularly. its really interesting. keep up the good work. but i have a suygestion for a free file that adds alot of functionality to the MSM Messenger Client. an earlier version was featured on call for help maybe a year ago, when Chris was still the host, but was away at comdex (last aired 11/18, which i assume is 2002). the link to the old story: http://www.techtv.com/callforhelp/freefile/story/...30,3407633,00.html but it has come A LONG way since then, and has turned into a highquality product. i now has the ability to add colors to an IM, and has Boos Protection, Instant Lock, Personalized Status, quicktext, a quickicons panel that lets the user have as many Custom emoticons listed as they would like, sound comands that play a sound on both ends of the chat, quick recall a la IRC, custom Naming of contacts, and so many more features that i dont have time to mention in this email. i think it would make a great Free File of the day. it does have an optional sponsor program (you have to explicitly tell it to install the sponsor), which is a VERY watered down version of LOP.com. the sponsor can be uninstalled by simply uninstalling Plus!, and then Plus! can be reinstalled without the sponsor. it also has a very good support forum at http://shoutbox.menthix.net (i'm a member). the offiecial site of Plus is http://www.msgplus.net, and the author (Patchou) can be contacted at mplus@patchou.com. i'm also gonna send this to Sarah, so you two can fight over which show it'll be on 
hope you like the program. from all of us in the messenger Plus! community, we hope you like the program
lets see what happens!!
