ExiledInIllinois Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 What's AIM? I was in my late 20s & 30s raising young kids. Is that the thing my niece as a tween loaded on my PC when my sister and her came to visit/watch my 2 year old son when we went to Mexico for my brother inlaw's wedding in 2000. ??? I must have missed this whole wave as I still do Facebook and Twitter. LoL... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted October 6, 2017 Share Posted October 6, 2017 We were still using it five years ago as the office IM tool. It worked fine and was free. Now we pay an arm and a leg to Slack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
