Yea, for some reason, AIM closes out for no reason when I'm on the iBook. I downloaded the brand new mac version for the iBook yet I sign on and it says there is an error after an unannounced amount of time. Sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes 5 minutes. It's random. Anyone know?

uhm, Adium uses libGaim which is the core of Gaim. So, essentially its Gaim with a Mac OS interface (Cocoa, etc).

I've noticed that when someone asks for help with a piece of software, people tend to post crap like "OMG LIEK DONT USEE THAT I USEE <insert bullshit here>!!! ITS TEH BEST EVRR!!"

Thanks, guys. I'm sure that really helps him out. I'm done here.

lol, is iChat usuable with only other mac users or aim users also? I wouldn't use it if I couldn't talk with my friends from aim, because I don't have friends with macs.
