How to edit your AOL Instant Messenger Buddy Limit
==========================================

****Please Read before continuing*****

1. Make sure you have the latest version of AIM at <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.aim.com/get_aim/win/win_beta.adp">http://www.aim.com/get_aim/win/win_beta.adp</a><!-- m -->
even if there is no beta version, click on the link to see what the latest version is to make sure
you are current. The latest version (AIM version 5.2.3292) can cut thru firewalls.

2. Also, this will only work for people using PC's. Sorry all you Mac and Linux users.

3. I am not responsible for anything going wrong when they use this on either a home or work
PC.

av8er still has them. He just moved into a new house, but as soon as he is settled down he is going to be editing the tapes to mp3 and streaming the audio as he does it (maybe).

Yeah I have been banging my head with this for weeks and it seems that AIM now resets it everytime you login. Well, to make up for it, IM me and I can hook you up with a cracked version of DeadAIM that works with the latest version of AIM (version 5.2.3292). Least I can do....
