AIM (AOL Instant Messenger)
If you’re an online chat junkie, switching to the Mac involves very little disruption to your routine. AIM is available for the Mac, too, and it awaits your download at www.aim.com. Better yet, the minute you fire it up, you’ll discover that all your contacts are still there. (That’s because they actually lived on the America Online network, not on your Windows PC.)
Tip
Actually, you might have a lot more fun—and save a lot of effort—by just using Messages. It’s a built-in OS X chat program that’s compatible with the whole AIM network, as described in Chapter 13.
