On a Windows PC, Chikka Messenger looks great, but using it on my iBook G4 it's not a program you can download, install, and use. Instead, to use Chikka Messenger in Mac OS X, bookmark this link in Safari and/or Firefox.

For those that don't know, Chikka Messenger is a text (SMS) messaging utility. Since October 2006, I have been in the Philippines. Not only do I use the iBook G4 on a daily basis, I also use Chikka Messenger at the same time, as it is easier or faster than other internet chat services.

There is a major drawback to using the Java version of Chikka Messenger, however: I am unable to save Phone Number and Password info at the login screen -- I have to use the copy and paste keyboard shortcuts to resolve that. I found that I can't even do that in the Firefox Java version of Chikka; however they work fine using Safari.
