I'm on my sun workstation.
on the GAIM logging screen I clicked on "Accounts" and added an
account, telling it to use the yahoo protocol.
One thing that can be a bit confusing is that I have the same
username on yahoo and AIM. I can't figure out how to be logged into
both systems at once, is that possible with this program?
