I don't even want fucking AIM, but it seems like the only way to get a hold of some people. When I try to DL the Mac version, it shows up as (I think) a Quicktime file that ends in .bin. When I try to open/unzip/whatever it, it says it can't be opened because it's not a movie file. Well no shit! Any Mac peeps have any advice for me? (Please spare me the "Yeah, buy a PC" replies, virus-lovers...)

.bin files are compressed - do you have stuffit expander?

You could also use another free utility called Zipeg. Do a google search for it. I've used it on Mac OS 10.4 and currently on 10.5.1 (Leopard) and it works great.

gmail has AIM built into the browser. or you could use the web version of AIM. both better than the alternative. fuck AOL! i use trillian. ive forced every computer in my household to use it. but i dont know if it works on mac.

You can also use the apple chat (ichat I think) program to do aim and goggle chat. There are directions out there for it on the web.
