Dear IBM,

[jsbowden]

What the hell is wrong with you? I don't need an exhaustive list, I just need to know WHY installing Sametime causes my machine to use THREE HUNDRED MEGABYTES of additional memory. That's before I even start it. It's a fucking IM client. Please explain to me why I shouldn't firebomb whatever part of your organization is responsible for this travesty with extreme prejudice. Soon. This Enya track won't last for much longer, and them I'm going to start getting really pissed.

Huh? The Sametime client I use is .NET. I know, because I've gotten the .NET crash screen when it's crashed before.

No, it's Java. Go into the Help/About, and you'll see it'll say it was built with Eclipse.

By ".NET crash screen" do you mean the Visual Studio debugger? Because VS will launch its debugger for any app that crashes on your system if you have it installed and configured that way.

Yep, you're totally right, it was built with Eclipse.

(I'm using a separate Sametime client that is far, far better than the integrated one that comes with Notes, by the way)

-- I don't mean the Visual Studio debugger; I meant that it had given the .NET runtime error dialog when it had crashed before. (And now I'm confused!)
