I saw ICQ2GO at http://go.icq.com while doing my research. The problem with
this is that this seems to be a Web-Java download-at-run-time client just like
AIM Express. There doesn't seem to be any benefit with this over AIM Express
except that I'd be able to say, I (or they) do ICQ, not AIM. I get the
impression that all my kids' friends are AIMers. The benefit to be sought is a
resident client and ICQ2GO doesn't apparently work that way.

Have you used it yourself? What are the restrictions? What have you
noticed/seen/experienced?

Curious.
