I think I still had that one from a long time ago, many of the really old ones I still had, especially all of the partnership ones.

Unfortunately, my computer can only run AIM 2 or higher. I've not found what compatibility settings to use with AIM 1.

Well there's a 32bit and 16bit version. My knowledge is not with the client so it's hard to say. It really depends on all sorts of things.

BTW I am always on AIM Phoenix, screenname tonyshowoff. As I posted on the buddy thread, anyone wanting to talk about AIM, AOL, OSCAR, P3, TOC, servers, IRC, etc I'm open to speak with.

I don't know very much about AIM.

Based on what I've seen here you know more than 99% of people. I'm just pointing out I am available, even for help.

I've noticed that the "Connection settings" button in AIM gets more and more hidden through each sort of "phase" AIM has.

1.0-5.9: Prominent
6: A little more hidden
7: Same as 6
8: Not there at all.

It's hard for me to speculate because it's after my time, but based on what happened before, I theorise that because corporate offices, web filters, etc really tried hard to block AIM, they wanted to make it to where it wasn't even easy to set it up for proxy settings or overriding the connection settings for things like Symantec's IM manager, this way people are more free to use it and talk to whomever they want.

That's just a guess though, because way back when, they had it setup on routers to where it would accept nearly any port number for OSCAR in order to by-pass port blocking, and by default unless you changed it, if 5190 failed, it would try a random other number.

When was "your time"?

Not trying to be offensive, just wondering.
