As stated, why is it that you don't want aim so you can be directed to something you might like better.

Also, there are lots of IM programs out there now.

Miranda ftw! I chose it for the exact same reason: light-weight. (but of course, it's exandable with plugins)

can't beat an older version of aim with adhack. nothing else is quite the same if you use aim 90% of the time for im chatting.

Sometimes I use a site called Meebo.com. It's completely web-based, so you don't have to install anything, and it works with all of the major IM programs. It's pretty nice.

Edit: Not sure if Meebo supports downloading though. I haven't tried it.

Seconded. The first time AOL put an ad in with video and sound was also the last, at least for me.
