From the NoodleMac What Have You Done For Me Lately™ department comes AOL with an updated version of AIM (<em>AOL Instant Messenger</em>). I just don’t know why. Well into the 21st century AOL gets all retro, Microsoft style, and piles on more features on a product that still does less. Honestly, I thought AOL went out of business. </p> <blockquote><p>AIM for Mac supports AIM Expressions, AIM File Transfer and supports friendly names - no more hard-to-remember screen names.
