It's called Adium X. It's free, and downloadable on www.adiumx.com . you can use your AIM, iChat, MSN, Yahoo messenger, jabber, google talk and other IM services all together on that app, and its beautiful.

yes i do.

if you're setting up the account for the first time, set up your msn and your aim accounts, but if you didn't do it at first, go to Preferences --> Accounts --> '+' button --> AOL Instant Messenger. Set it up, and it should work. I set mine both up at the beginning, but I don't think its much different. My AIM contacts appear on the list exactly as if they were an msn contact, and when I click to talk to them, it's EXACTLY the same... soo easy!

This program is the shit!
