Cerulean Studios makes the wildy popular instant message program called Trillian. However they do not have a version for Mac OS X. Here is my email requesting it.

Subject: Trillian for Mac OS X and ewoks!
Dear Cerulean Studios,
Please please please make trillian for Mac OS X. It’s such a wonderfully great program. Please do not deny us wonderful mac users. Mac users are so soft and friendly–a perfect match for Trillian! It’s destiny.
In fact, I see what you are doing RIGHT now. I see… you are nodding your head in agreement. Yes. In fact, you are emailing your developers. What are you typing? Ah yes. It is:
“Hey yo Andy Magoon, Rachel Blackman, and Surjatini Widjojo. We like so totally need to make Trillian for Mac OS X. This totally cool dude like just emailed me and showed me the light. Mac users are so soft and friendly. They are like ewoks, man! Freakin ewoks. We gotta have ewoks using Trillian. I hope to see your prototype by the end of the week? Hope that’s not too soon, but we ARE talking about EWOKS here.”
Thank you Cerulean-Studio-Customer-Service-Person for writing that email. I’m all aglow.

Cerulean Studios replied to my email! ————– Date: Tue Aug 3, 2004 7:08:42 PM America/Chicago I must say, you’ve made me laugh even with the toothache I’m nursing. 🙂 Mac support is requested all the time. It’s really in the hands of Scott and Kevin at this point. Hopefully they’ll move in that direction in the future. Thanks for the laugh and the support.

aw. even though they didn’t do what you asked, they sent you a warm and fuzzy response anyway. it’s all about customer service! ….. or is it?
here is my response to their email: I’m so sorry to hear about your toothache. Perhaps if you go to the dentist, you should say, “Do you swear to pull the tooth, the whole tooth, and nothing but the tooth?” Hmmm, that Scott and Kevin… so it’s in their hands, eh? Do they have good hands? Can they play a mean game of football? Wait, no. I bet they are pros at foosball. Yeah. Dood. If they… no. Let’s rephrase that… WHEN they make the mac version, they should totally put some foosball action in there. Trillian and foosball. That’s the winning combination. Oh, and ewoks playing foosball on trillian. That’s suga sweet. (but not too sweet to hurt your sensitive teeth!)
forget those fascists. Try GAIM. It should run fine on your mac. 🙂 Oh and both it and it’s plugins are TOTALLY FREE (from hypocrisy)
