ok, so i just noticed something.... my MSN for Mac hadn't been working for a while... and i was baffled, but it worked last night... i'd been using aMSN as an alternative for some time... however, i noticed, that it wasn't working when i put in the HTTP proxy for etisalat... and when i disabled it, last night, it started working fine... anyone know why? aMSN works like a charm even on the proxy....

very very very weird...
