Information Block
These pages have sat here since 2008 with no update. In that time the AIM servers have been closed down (2017) and iChat has been superceded by Messages. That effectively make this a sort of Historical Document of how it worked.
This 2024 Edit/Update does make some tense changes to the Contents but mostly it stands as written. The general purpose of the update was to move, as much as possible to HTML 5 compliance where I could.
This site is about iChat from Version 1 through to iChat 5.x.x
It has a mixture of basic info and problem solving help.
This Information Block will change for Specifics about info on the page on view
About This Page

Confirmed to work with Win/IE 5.5 and later (should work in 5.0, but not confirmed),

Old browsers (IE version 4 or earlier, Netscape 4 or earlier) should only see

usable.
