I downloaded aol instant messanger about 2 years ago , and I have had it ever since , because it works so well . I mean you can have as many screen names as you want to have , you can have tons of people on your buddylist , and most of all it is just a great system !!!!!!!! There is nothing bad about it at all , it is just swell . And , when you log on to the net to talk to all your friends and family , it only takes about less than one minute to log on and talk to everyone you want to . I also like it even more because it has alot more prefrences than other instant messengers too . So have fun people s !!!!!!!!!
