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
