So apparently people don't talk to you unless you have AIM.

I got AIM once, a long time ago on another computer, and it dropped eggs everywhere with ads that spouted and spurted and wouldn't go away.

I wouldn't mind usings AOL Instant Messenger, but for all the crap it would drop on my computer.

Is there like a crap-free, ad-free version?

I've never had a problem with ads. The only ads I ever see are of the animated gif variety at the top of the buddy list, and since I usually have that minimized, it doesn't bother me. Once in a while one has sound, but again, if the list is minimized, I don't hear it. I've never had AIM install spyware or adware.
