Fire 0.22a

[NUDrew]

Grrr..

Well, AOL's decided to knock all of the Fire users off too since it's not official AIM/AOL software...kinda makes you wish that AOL would get off its @$$ and get a carbonized version of at least IM out there, ya know?

As far as I konow, the newesr version of Fire has a workaround for that block.

 

[NUDrew]

well...it did have a workaround to that problem...up until this morning, when I got a message from AOL saying that I was online illegally!

I already did not like AOL. They just keep pissing me off more. I had heard of AOL blocking linux versions of AIM. I'm about ready to start a petition to AOL, or start a boycott of AIM. Anybody else feel the same way?

 

[StormSilver]

Yes, I do feel the same way. So far for me, though, Fire's been working reasonably well with AIM. Of course, you can always use the Classic version, but who wants to do THAT?

AOL TimeWarner Netscape Frito Lay Pizza Hut and whoever else they've bought this week sucks soooooooo much. They make Microsoft look cool.

 

[NUDrew]

well, I've reverted to using the Classic version of IM...and it's not that big of a hassle...but who wants to look at the classic GUI?? hehe

You can use Applet launcher to run the Java Applet version of AOL/IM. Not a really great option but an option, just the same.

I think the URL (to launch in Applet Launcher) is: http://toc.oscar.aol.com/aimexpress/content.html

Or maybe:
