AIM for Mac OSX???

Post by MiketheangrydrunkenCUfan »

I don't even want fucking AIM, but it seems like the only way to get a hold of some people. When I try to DL the Mac version, it shows up as (I think) a Quicktime file that ends in .bin. When I try to open/unzip/whatever it, it says it can't be opened because it's not a movie file. Well no shit! Any Mac peeps have any advice for me? (Please spare me the "Yeah, buy a PC" replies, virus-lovers...)

.bin files are compressed - do you have stuffit expander?

You could also use another free utility called Zipeg. Do a google search for it. I've used it on Mac OS 10.4 and currently on 10.5.1 (Leopard) and it works great.

You can also use the apple chat (ichat I think) program to do aim and goggle chat. There are directions out there for it on the web.
