Yesh, but it gives you WAY more options how you customize what you do, and how you do it. For instance the SecureIM features, set it up right and you go instant encryption.
Enter your protocol you're using (AIM, ICQ,...) and username/password
Go to the Manage My Connections Menu under Trillian in the Main menu bar.
Click the "Change" button
Go to the Miscellaneous Tab.
Click the first two of the Secure IM options down at the bottom. (Secure IM is only there for AIM and ICQ)

I finished High School at 17, it also helped that I was in an accelerated program. This allowed me to finish my associates in 16 months, rather then traditional 24 months.
