What’s your iChat alias?

I'm willing to pay 50 bux for it though not 1200 and then have to deal with ATI graphics cards and such. I knew it was a matter of time before you drank the koolaid dude. :)

For some reason it works just fine in VMware on linux which is what I use right now. Running linux with Beryl gives me all the cool things I like about OSX(expose etc...) and then some(3d cube workspaces,ability to group and windows into little workspaces etc...). The only other thing that I can think of that I want that isn't there yet is some sort of application like Quicksilver, there's proggies like that for KDE but they aren't as nice. When I have cash to burn on a laptop just for music, and being cool however, I will get one immediately.
