It's not Triton...It's the new AIM6 ;)

Hi All,

I'm obviously behind on all this blogging mayhem but it's due to just cause, getting the new AIM6 out the door. It's actually the first release that I can actually say I'm proud of. Oh yea, and AIM 5.9, that's not on my pc anymore ;)

Features:

1) Offline IM's - You can't run away from your significant other anymore people, they'll be sending you IM's without you online. And when you get on, SURPRISE, you have an IM waiting to be read. (Nostalgic memories of getting paged from friends and not being able to deny it...hehe)

2) IM Logging - Yup, IM logging is finally in and legit. No more trying to find that logger we snuck in about a year ago. Gotta love calling people out on stuff they said the night before ;)

3) Expanded Buddy List - You want 1,000 buddies? Go for it 'cuz the buddy list supports it. Let's be honest, you only have that many buddies because you're using the same screenname from 8 years ago ;) J/K

4) New Away - Away messages make more sense now. You wanna manage them, select manage...want a new one, select new (hmmm...why does it look a lot like the old one...?) BECAUSE IT GOT THE JOB DONE! ;)

5) UI - The UI has been completely redone and worthy of using. Some of the color choices may make you cringe, but it's well worth the download. Everything from color to positioning has changed. Even video, file transfer, and images have been reworked from a UI perspective. Much more usable and inviting to use. Try dragging and dropping a pic onto a conversation, you may start using it more often ;)

6) I could go on...but I'll let you see it for yourself. Try the new AIM6 from www.aim.com. You may just replace your current AIM client with it..I know I did. ;)

Out with Triton - In with the new AIM6.

Happy AIMing and Happy Holidays!
