Primeval longings and logically impaired, resource hogging workarounds

I like Pidgin. It's the second best IM client I've ever tried. Still; I want my WLM. I simply find the combination of WLM, msg plus and a-patch to so perfectly fit my needs, that I've just begun running VirtualBox in seamless mode for the sole purpose of using WLM. Granted, I wouldn't have had to if my laptop hadn't been stolen a few days ago, but still.

Now; are any of you doing something completely wasteful/unnecessary like that? Let em rip!

Edit:
Btw, if anyone hears anything about wine suddenly sailing smooth with WLM9, please do tell.

I use XChat and Pidgin at the same time all the time, but I don't find it too wasteful. I guess you could say I'm wasteful in how I have several virtual systems I never use.

Actually, computers today are generally powerful enough by far to let you "waste" a bit of RAM, but still ^^
