I actually like the new aol instant messager. I like how they put all your conversations in one window like trillian and just the little added things they have done to it. Just my 2cents

Yes, after I put the scope on my rifle, I have new aim.

i heard that the creator of deadAIM (jim dennis or whatever) stopped making deadaim and left for gAy-OL to help develop triton. some of his deadaim features made it to the new AIM.

i *think* he left for AOL, not too sure.

I stopped using AIM a while back after one of the ads played sound. That is unacceptable.

Gaim has had tabbed chat windows for a while now, and theres no ads.

Edit: I forgot, theres no spyware like that Viewpoint media player crap aim tried installing on my system. That was the final straw that made me a Gaim user.
