Summary
As long as you PC Names make sence, than chatting across the house is nice and easy with this program.

GaugedFreakOctober 28, 2009
Pros
- Easy Install - No Setup - quick
Cons
- Could not find computers in different IP Ranges. - No way to manually enter IP address.
Summary
Good, solution but not great. If you're on a simple network solution this is a great product that will probably do what you need it to do.
The super program that I must say

Pros
How many other programs do you see on download.com that have as many legitmate 5-star reviews. Usually when all the reviews for some software are all so positive, I immediately know that the producer of the software has been reviewing his own product. That's not the case here. This product deserves it's 5-star rating. This program allows for the easy sending of messages in a small network. It doesn't try to be everything to everyone. As a network administrator, I've used it in a small LAN (25 people) for the last 5 years. And it does the job perfectly. Think of it as a replacement for the 1 minute call to a work buddy at the other end of the building. Perfect!
Cons
What more could you want. It's designed to be a replacement for winpopup. It does that exceedingly well.
Summary
A stable LAN Messenger which uses minimal resources and easy to use

steelstringsAugust 18, 2007
Pros
It installed immediately and worked as advertised. It is free and appears well built
Cons
You can't see what you've sent and what you receive is only visible by pressing next and previous. There is no list view of either your sent or received messages.
Summary
Very useful, simple, discreet and elegant!!

Cons

Summary
Incredible!
CHarrowerApril 26, 2006
Pros
We tried several WinPopup replacement programs for our internal communications, and none of them did everything we want. Then we discovered RealPopup! We've installed it on the entire LAN, and deleted all the rest. Can't recommend it highly enough...and the author actually CARES (which can't be said for some of the really expensive programs we tried!).
