AOL AIM for Pocket PC?

I just got my Axim this week and I used to have an iPaq and I used to chat on AIM all the time with it. I just checked the AOL web site to download this for my Axim, and it said I had to buy it for $19.95. Is that right? Anyone have this on their Axim? Did you guys pay for it? I think that's ridiculous.

somewhere in this catogory on the forum there is a link to a site where you can download AO-Hell, its a week old. Otherwise try Kaza. Whatever you do, DON'T PAY FOR IT!!

Thanks Tomalak. There was no way in HELL I was gonna pay for it. I knew there was a way to get it free.

Hey Ted Turner needs to raise capital to buy back the Braves and CNN! What better way to do it than by charging us to install AIM?

Check the documentation. I think you will find it doesn't work with Pocket PC 2002. I've even read that is sometimes trashes your PDA.

I downloaded AIM last week and have used it every day since then - no problems - knock on wood.

Here's the site, just download and install and it's there.
