Hi Rayna,
Have you got 'kopete' (I prefer it to 'gaim') but whichever you use you need
to do the following things:-
Go to the following page and set up an account:-
<http://my.screenname.aol.com/_cqr/login/login.psp?siteId=snshomepage&authLev=1&mcState=initialized&createSn=1>
Now add you AIM account to gaim/kopete.
Finally start adding "buddies" - you can start with 'derijammer' - ;-)
Cheers
Deri
