AIM with a Mighty Mouse

when i used to be on my iBook it used to shut down with the track pad.

Using a scroll wheel on a mouse while AIM is running will cause it to crash. There is no known fix or workaround for this issue except not to use the scroll wheel.

that happens to me too. its so annoying.

Just curious, but what advantages are there to using AIM rather than iChat?

I notice this all the time too. It used to get really annoying, so I downloaded Adium X which is a great AIM app. I'm really satisfied with Adium because its extremely customizable and user friendly.

@ wheels:
Adium X 0.89 is crashing on me a lot. As far as I know thats the latest version. How's it working on your MacBook? Any problems? I find that when it crashes I am best off if I shutdwn and restart rather than re-launch adium. Seems like when it crashes, if I just relaunch it, after about a half hour or so, my whole system seems to bog down and I have gotten atleast one kernel panic. One other note, I think the problem may be related to sleep. As long as my MacBook hasn't slept, Adium seems to stay stable. Not sure if the problem is really related to Adium, but what I do know is that its the only app that has crashed on my MacBook so far.

(uh, just realized this is a bit off topic, but at least its relevant in that you know another IM client is crashing.)
