| Well since I've set up all the computers in the house, It's been a habit of mine to make disabling messenger the first thing I do.  About the realpopup program, we've been using it all day and it's exactly what we wanted.  The only thing that I don't like about it is that it shows up in the system tray (I'm a stickler for keeping as much out of there as I can), but that's not a huge annoyance, seeing that it uses almost 0 resources.
