I don't know why it is but when I think of Kazaa I think
SPYWARE. Not that I know anything about this Prog.
I wonder if there'll have to be a lite version ? ;-)
Seems too good to be true, whats the catch ?
Maybe Kazaa has changed their ways ?
All I can say is, I don't Trust them. :-D
Talk minus Action = Zero

Interesting, i be curious on how the sound quality holds up against msn 6 as that seems pretty good quality.
Just for voice chat though, Trillian for everything else :-)

Two words: Kazaa Lite.

No spyware.  Less rubbish.

Okay, I downloaded and installed it. Have not tried it. It let me have the name I use here. So amigamad, did you secure the same name?


AmigaOne! and PegasOS need THIS!

So I guess that A500, 600, 1000, 2000, CDTV, CD32, are pure garbage then? Thanks for posting here.

Well, someone named Dexter tried to talk to me 1:25 hour later. I could hear him quite clearly, but I couldn't talk to him. I don't know if my microphone works, I'll try plugging in the other jack that it has. WOW!!!!


AmigaOne! We could make this, piece o' cake!!!!

This is the piece of software we certainly need! The voice quality is superb, and very easy to use the program.

The linux platform got its port recently, so I hope to see this proggie for our AMiGAs too :hammer:.
There is a platform independent solution for calls over INet, and it is called Speak Freely but its command based only and has a rudimental arexx GUI.

Actually, guys...

Skype's been out for ages (at least a year and a half... maybe two years or more) yet it's never really caught on nearly as much as all the original hype would make it out to have...

No...   Lindows/Linspire was started by Michael Robertson, founder and former CEO of MP3.com.  While Skype was by Niklas Zennström and Janus Friis

I'll admit, though, it's very hard to keep track of your senseless over-hyping dot-com relics nowadays...  ;-)
