After dumping my virus riddled windows computer for a mac, I have to say that the Mac version of Yahoo Instant Messenger is missing a lot of basic functionality that I had on windows.

For one, Why cant I create an alias for my buddies? some of friends have obsure usernames, this should be a basic thing.

Secondly, while I can view others web cams, why cant I talk using my mike and speakers. I mean every G3 Mac + has them built-in I think its a simple ask that the mac version be at least withing coey of the windows one.

Can anyone recommend another client that does have these features on Mac OSX?
