AIM has been doin major upgrades lately i think, i have an older client i keep using cuz of loggin capabilities and some winamp features i can have, and ever since they've came out with they're latest client i always get a popup sayin i wont be able to connect soon unless i update, which ive been fine connecting for like the last month. i havent been able to connect wtih hardly anyone at all though to send pictures or files, so im guessin that could be a reason. i think they're tryin to get everyone using the latest version. i think maybe the latest version out and any other version cant connect to each other.
