AIM woes
12.07.2004For some weird, unknown-to-me reason, AOL suspended my AIM username. While I'm almost never on IM, you can reach me w/ my .Mac username.
Oh, and Happy Chanukah everyone.

Maybe you're on a watch list somewhere. [cue ominous musik]

I'm sure it's nothing. Just weird that I never got a notification or anything, I just couldn't log into my account. I know it's free, so I suppoes they can probably legally kick me off whenever they wan. But still. I mostly only ever used it to talk to one other person, and I seriously doubt she's mad at me.

Do you have an msn account? Can u keep one? Most of my blogger and non blogger friends use msn chat.

Stephanie:
I don't have an MSN account, and I'm not sure if works w/ iChat (the Apple-branded AIM emulator). I'll look into it, though. iChat may indeed work w/ MSN as well.
Alison:
As for why AIM suspended our accounts. Not sure on why that might be. Perhaps server woes? Or do you have a .Mac account? Because part of me suspects they just kicked of a lot of their .Mac account users all at once in a tiff w/ Apple. But there's no info on their site, or on the .Mac bulletin boards. But there might be info now?
