Wrong is wrong though.

2/5 = .40 and that times 100 = 40%

It should have been 5/2 * 100 = 250%

Now, with that aside... go RTCOMM over Pidgin... and this comes from a person that came from Pidgin - before that, Miranda IM - and switched to it on my machines. It integrates with the OS better, saves space and works rather well, even with my Gizmo dial-in number set up via IPKall.
