I only have ICQ on my computer at home. I am assuming that AIM is AOL Instant Messenger.

My question is...can you use AIM and not be an AOL customer? My husband refuses to sign up for AOL...must be because he's a network engineer/IT person, I dunno. I don't know as much as he does about internet stuff, so I normally let him handle software installations and internet service stuff with our 2 computers.

However, if MSN is another popular one that I can download, I could do that probably with no hassle from him.

Thanks for any advice you can give me.
yep.. aim is just aol instant messenger by it self.. and aol includes it.. get aim!!
