The solution to appease my 12 year old was AOL Instant Messanger . Like ICQ , this little program allows you to contact people online.
Lets start with the sound files.
Some of which are incredible annoying. If you look in your AIM folder, open the AIM Files folder, and in there you'll see the Sounds folder. You can replace these with any System 7 type sound file. I've installed AIM on two computers and neither showed the correct application icon. Has BNDL , and Use Custom Icon.
