AOL released a new build of AIM for X and it now has buddy icons and a few other things. One major bug was finally fixed: the screen now keeps up with my keyboard. No delay as in previous builds. A cool feature is when you minimize an IM to the dock, it uses that buddies icon(if available) as the dock icon. Once they add smilies and file transfer this thing will be great.
Regards,
Dave

AIM has been making pretty steady progress...there's still one thing that I miss, though, and I wonder if anyone knows if it'll be added back in. Message histories were always nice to have...but they haven't been in any of the OS X builds. Any info as to whether this is a planned feature (it's not mentioned in their list of things to be added later)?

Wow, the new version actually keeps up with my typing and is quite responsive (menus, moving windows, browsing stock quotes). All this on an iMac DV/400 MHz. Hopefully others applications will be making similar progress...

How did it come to this? Goodbye PowerPC. | sensory output

Is anyone else experiencing strange behavior with OS X as a whole after installing the new AIM? The only software I've installed since the 10.0.4 update is the updated beta and now my system freezes - a phenomena I though left behind forever with my now constant use of X. It worked fine after installation until I restarted and then all hell broke lose - the system starts up but then locks up when opening any application - Omniweb, AIM, iTunes, Classic, etc. Sometimes the system is ok for a few minutes and then it reverts back to its unruly behavior. I'm back in 9.1 until I find a cause for all this - any ideas? Will removing the AIM application alone solve anything or are there other pieces scattered around? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

The last AIM install didn't work on my OSX. It worked the first time I installed X, but I reinstalled everything. AIM was the only thing that didn't install perfectly (well, except for X11R6 apps). I was waiting for a new one and hoping that it would install. But, this new one does the same thing as the old:

"The application InstallAIM4.5.237 has unexpectedly quit. The system and other applications have not been affected."

That's all I get. Any ideas? 10.0.4, TiPB/500/512

Bandwagon, I started getting that constantly in OSX in all my applications, then I removed that 512MB DIMM i just got from 18004memory, and the problem was gone. Still waiting for the replacement though...waiting and waiting......
