Instant Messaging

At the Missouri Academy, online communication is often preferred to real-life communication. A useful tool for participating in online conversations is the instant message client. Many people use clients like AIM and MSN, but better and ad-free alternatives exist, such as Gaim and Trillain. Plus, they allow you to connect to AIM, MSN, ICQ, and the others all in one program with one shared contact list.
