I usually agree, but remember, clients are rarely very technical people, and won't use anything that is too complicated. That's why PGP had limited utility- most people were unable to use it. I've tried more complex methods (heavy encrypting of ZIP files attached to email) and found several messages simply intercepted for several days while they cracked a few of my encrypted ZIP files. I finally discarded email methods altogether, as taking too much time. This IM method has NO spam, no ads, just reliable communication, allowing me to reliably communicate easily with contract programmers and clients. One client has it on his Thinkpad, & can IM from anywhere WiFi is available when travelling. I WOULD like your opinion, Peter. Can you take a look and give me your opinion? If you want to test it, contact me as Az_Engineer. Its free. http://www.igo-incognito.com . --Bob Peter Johansson wrote: >Bob Axtell writes: > > > >>After trying several alternatives, I discovered a delightful solution >>that everybody >>liked: instant encrypted messenging service.
