awwww, tina's such a sweetie sharing her tortured childhood with us all... (btw, isn't aim and aol im the same?)
to clarify tina's response, and actually use punctuation:
you can sign up with many AOL Instant Messenger (AIM) screen names for free. you cannot use one of these free screen names to logon to America Online (AOL).
you can pay for a membership to AOL, and you get about 7 screen names as part of the deal. on AOL, you can give your AOL screen name a profile. AOL has a built in Instant Messenger that is not the same as AIM. you can then use any of those screen names to logon to AIM for simply instant messenging. if you logon to AIM with an AOL screen name, you will not get your AOL profile.
hahaha did i say that? lol
ahah! so the aol im is a separate program running thru the aol browser, and aim is a separate program altogether? if that's right, then i got it.
seriously though, does it really matter? and how off topic are we?!
yeah, back to ghetto tina...
don't u hate in when ur ghetto topic gets taken over by a couple-a geeks?
hahaha i just want people to admit to their silly childish ways... i find it so funny how you can look back 4 years ago, and think "wow, ive changed a lot"
you have? just kiddin ;)
pretty much. AOL IM isn't really a separate program running the the AOL interface, though, it's really just built into the interface. and AIM is a separate program altogether.
