AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) should be used because e-mail just isn't fast enough sometimes. This convenient, add-on to your system lets you communicate one-on-one or in a group with family, friends, and business associates who also use it. Finding people online can be easy too. Use the Member Directory to locate friends by name or by e-mail address.

    This one worked correctly with the initial Leopard release, even when iChat didn't work properly. It may be several years old (2001?) but it's a good basic client.

    Having used the version 6.x Windows client, I think I prefer the older Mac client as it can be removed quickly and there won't be many other, associated AOL bits and pieces which refuse to go away.
