Gerry's ICQ is an alternative to the ICQ client provided by Mirabilis. The reason this "clone" was created was because Mirabilis seemed to have forgotten about us mac users. Gerry's ICQ contains a majority of the features available in the Windows ICQ Client such as Message History and More Status Options, but does not contain all. Gerry's ICQ is also still in development which means new features are implemented all the time.
Our Review: Gerry's ICQ was made in response to what appeared to be a lack of support for Mac users of ICQ. In Gerry's ICQ more attention is paid to the needs of the Mac user - including a nifty control-strip extension which allows you to quickly alter your viewing status (Free For Chat, Occupied, Do Not Disturb etc.). Gerry's ICQ moves away from the confusing menu layout of the PC ICQ by placing menus back up on the menubar - all features of ICQ are then easily accessible. Special mention has to go to how cool the Starwars-style credits in the About box are! An excellent alternative to the Mirabilis release of ICQ.
