I have tried with iChat and Adium, but I get the "user suspended" message. I tried with this version of AIM client for Mac and and error is same. The only client which works for mac is AOL Desktop which is poor in its functionality. Can you tell me what could be the issue? Hi Greg,

I played around with it a little bit but couldn't figure it out. Greg,

It’s not that they didn’t have alternatives to choose from, there’s still Adium which has been serving the Mac community very well. However, with third party programs, you ultimately realize certain features will never be available to you and you’ll either just have to live with it. So with all that in mind, pick the software you feel most comfortable with. You don’t need to worry about what so & so company is making. You can try it out by Downloading it here!

OK, I tried to get the key on http://developer.aim.com, but to no avail. Wouldn't it be more convenient to display the information about necessity to get such a key BEFORE the user tried to enter his AIM login and password?

I have used iChat from day one, but my kids (and all the other kids I know), are hanging on to that old AIM client. I can't get them to switch to iChat. Soemthing about the buddy lists, profiles, and how you change colors/fonts in your chats... My kids are going to be all over this... I'll be curious to see how well it interoperates with iChat - especialyl when transferring files... Laugh all you want at the AIM client, but the kids love it.

I know they both use same protocol but make sure ICQ integration works fine too. To iChat fans: Just having something built into OS doesn't mean nobody else will code any alternatives. If AIM.app works good, Apple will feel some kind of competition (which LACKS on OS X) and it may result in a better iChat client too. I personally don't want to pay $140 for each iChat update, you get what I mean. Keep up the good work. I know they both use same protocol but make sure ICQ integration works fine too.
