I need an AIM logger

I need a program that logs aim convos. I downloaded an old version of deadaim (b/c I'm sure as hell not paying for the new one) but it didn't do anything. I think that's because I have a new version of aim but I didn't know what version of aim I needed.
So can someone help me out? wink

Google Desktop will log aim conversations. I absolutely love it.

Gaim does it really well, as far as I'm concerned.
I don't trust google desktop. It's just a little too scary for me.

Google Desktop scares me too. I use MessengerMate. I love the tabbed AIM windows and the logged convos...

hm... why does google desktop scare you? You think that it transmits our information to them?

Gaim does that - plus I can use it on my Linux box too. Also, gaim lets me use my two aim accounts, msn, yahoo, and jabber all at once, and all on one buddy list.

do I have to download an older version of aim to use gaim?

Trillian is good if you use more than 1 service. I am a pure AIM guy...

downloaded gaim, and I'm not feelin it
-you can't see when the person is typing
-and it looks like you can't get rid of the buddy list window
where do you get the plugins and what can they do?

You can see when they're typing two ways
Icon in the top right corner of the aim window appears, and their name turns green in the tabs (assuming you have tabs).
Poke around in the options, specifically WinGaim options, which will allow you to have it appear in the taskbar and let you dock the buddy window, and close it if you want and let it still run.

I thought I saw that icon, but then I didn't see again so I thought I was seeing things lol

Meh, I agree with Retro. Looks like shit too. They must have put like 30 seconds into the design.

I'm sticking with the regular AIM. I guess some things just take time to get used to but I don't feel like it lol

I love Trillian. Multiple platforms (aim, msn, yahoo, etc) all in one, tabbed convos if you want them, convo logs, sleek design...

you can't pay the $5 for deadaim? It comes with free updates for life and you can use regular AIM still. Tabbed windows are awesome too.

Messenger Mate is way better than DeadAIM and you get free updates for a year. You use normal AIM too...

uh, I can. I just don't want to. I refuse to pay more for an aim program then I did from photoshop.

too bad that it doesn't work for AIM 5.9. So far MessengerMate is the only one that seems to be up-to-date... I am considering buying it...

Deadaim is only $4.99. Wow, most people pay 3x that for a ref. ?
