I meant that the AOL AIM Mac client doesn't do audio/video. Using AOL
AIM on a Mac is useless.

It works better than iChat for most things, though

Name one!

iChat is a Apple-designed chat program that runs over AIM, Jabber and
locally over Bonjour. Unlike AOL's Mac AIM client, it supports video.
That includes video to users on Windows who are using AIM.

Switch to iChat. Learn how to use it. Be happy!

And if you want something even better than iChat for plain chat, Adium
is hard to beat:

Unfortunately, Adium doesn't do video yet...
