AIM for Mac was replaced by iChat, which works pretty well. Not
perfect, but i like it. iChat defaults to the AIM network, hence why
AIM's offering was so far out of date. It is no longer relevant.

Sounds like the developers have moved to Adium

Unfortunately I couldn't figure out a way to get VO to read the
contacts. They all read "available contact". I know AOL has put a
bunch of effort into AIM on Windows for Jaws. I haven't tried it on
the Mac yet. I think the Mac AIM was lagging the Win version by
quite a bit so it probably doesn't do much for VO. iChat seems to
work ok for starting up a chat. I could navigate up and down my
buddy list with the arrows or type the first few letters to match
somebody and then activate that user to chat with them. Once I was
chatting though I couldn't get it to read back responses from the
other person. Also, emoticons like :) came through as "embedded
image" from the other person. AIM 4.7 was pretty much silent.
Considering it was released February 2004 I'm surprised it still
works on my MacBook :)

Hi there,
I use iChat for both AIM and MSN, though you'll have to jump
through some hoops to get MSN working with it through Jabber.
Fire is good, but I have found, overall, that iChat tends to be
more reliable.
