    I apologize if a thread has been posted on this subject already, I looked and couldn't find anything but if there is info then just direct me to the link :)
    When I download AIM 4.7 from the AIM website to my desktop and click on the file aim.bin to begin the installer, there is no program specified to open .bin files and I therefore can't install AIM. I am running Mac OSX 10.4.2... any suggestions?
    Thank you!

    you will need Stuffit Expander to open the .bin files, it used to be included with the OS but apple dropped it for some reason.


    why AIM though? iChat connects to the same network, with a much better interface, and Adium is leaps and bounds ahead of both.

    Why don't you just use iChat? It's meant for AIM, but on Mac.

    AIM 4.7 installed fine for me, too, on Tiger 10.4.2...

    ...and I have to say, it was just stupid. Too "in-your-face" with the buttons, and tickers, and ads, and omg.. just go with iChat, IMO.
