iChat, why AIM?

Actually I think this is a chat window, and I think ThinkSecret is the AIM name too

this is a one on one chat, not a more than 2 people one. so you don't need their name repeated every time they write something.

So then why does the bubble mode have each speaker's icons next to them? ;-)

Either way, it should be a preference. For all I know, maybe it is.

Maybe that is only an incompleted part of iChat.

EDIT: oops, the most stupid member beat me to the punch

All my buddies are on AIM, and the reasons I use Fire is because it's so much more stable than AOL's client, no annoying flashing banner ads, and not too much interface, so I can have nice, small windows.

Once iChat comes out, I'll probably use that.

Also, did you guys know that if you're chatting with someone over Rendezvous, you can make it so that you can see each other typing messages?
