Please...what's the point? The only thing this things good for is allowing other mac users a way to use FAR superior iChat... without having to pay for a mobile me account.

I mean c'mon... "you can send your pictures to all your buddies?" Ya know, there's this cool thing out there,.. it's called "email."

I find it amusing that AIM was an editor pick (fancy blue text) for years, but now it's not even worthy of an editor mention anymore. the fact that not even macupdate or versiontracker support it anymore as BOTH have removed it from editors picks says something in that of itself. AOL should really take a hint and either fix it by completing the feature set to actually be useful or just give it up again like they did before.
