One of my two brothers uses Windows Messenger as do I.
My other brother, and all his friends, use AOL
Messenger. He doesn't want to change because of all his
other contacts. Are the two compatible so that we can
communicate anyway? Thanks.

Greetings Jim,

I'm afraid not; you'll need to use AOL Instant Messenger (http://www.aim.com) or some other
client that supports AIM (like Trillian; http://www.trillian.cc).

Warning: the newest version of AOL Instant Messenger contains Wild Tangent,
which is a spyware program.

Do not install any version later then 5.5.3572

You can get 5.5.3572 from www.oldversion.com
