AIM for Mac?

[clarentine]

Hey, all you Mac people out there - have any of you downloaded the new version of AIM built specifically for the Mac? Have you had any problems with it, or heard of anyone who has? I'm loathe to download something that's going to cause me grief when I already have enough stuff to be dealing with.

The dock icon is a duck. It flaps its wings when you have a message. ;)

Aw. I like my version better.

So, tell me. Do you use your AIM login still or have to create a new one, or something? I'm intrigued.

I use my AIM login(s). I also use Yahoo login, Gmail login, and LJ. If I had MSN Messenger, Jabber, Facebook, Bonjur, ICQ...it would also use that. Alas, the only one I have that it doesn't is Skype, but Skype requires things Adium doesn't use. Voice and video. There's always iChat for those on AIM.

Wow. One place to look at all of that? Wow.

...now I really must look into Adium.

Yes, it's really fab. It has tabs for all your stuff in one window. And it uses Growl, which is a notification program that flashes up background chat at you while you're on another window. :)
