This is my first post... so bear with me... I just got an eMac with Panther, we are talking today. I share it with my dad, and on my account I'm using iChat. I was wondering if it was possible to change my AIM profile on iChat.. I can other people's profiles.. but I don't have one... :( can that change? Thanks so much!

You can't make profiles in iChat...which pisses me of but Apple hasn't added it. Send them feedback though. I have several times.

Yep it can be done. There are several programs that let you do it...here is one.

If you're new to Macs then definitely check out alternatives to iChat, like AIM (http://www.aim.com/), Adium 2 (http://adium.sf.net), Proteus (http://www.indigofield.com/about_proteus.php), or Fire (http://fire.sf.net). I like Adium 2 the best. I don't mean to sabatoge this thread by dissing iChat but I feel it's important that people know there are alternatives...unless you really like iChat in which case carry on.
