How to say "my computer froze"? What's "to reboot"?

What's the blanket term for Instant Messenger in Russian? What's the preferred IM of Russians? What's the verb: "to instant message"?

What's the best IM and why?

MSN and Yahoo. Better-looking, less complicated and more smoothly working. I'd never even have ICQ if not for the fact that my mother has only it. I went for 4 years happily without it.

Gaim (http://tieguy.org/blog/index.cgi/433) has them all-in-one. It doesn't really matter which ones my friends are using -- I can aim, icq, irc, and jabber them all from the same place.

Yeah, and Trillian and Miranda. I know. I just don't like them. :) It's not a hassle for me to keep my messengers separate, not to mention that these 4-in-1 programs don't support LAUNCHcast like the original yahoo messenger does. At least last time I tried trillian it didn't.

I must say as a person with reasonable computer skills, Gaim is fab! Cyrillic support is ok, though it seems to vary dependant on which program the person on the other end is using.
