These are some sad fucking times we live in. I really always hoped they'd come out with an AIM app at some point.
Sure it's been pretty dead for years but still. The final nail in the coffin to seal it's fate still hurts in a way. I thoroughly enjoyed every time we'd get a resurgence on AIM. Everyone back on their old handles, away messages, profiles, etc.
It wasn't overly complex, but it was fucking brilliant.
RIP
