AOL is bezig met het ontwikkelen van een nieuwe Mac-versie van AIM, zijn instant-messengerprogramma. Het ontwikkelteam heeft vorig jaar de draad weer opgepakt om de 4.7-versie uit begin 2004 op te frissen. Mac-gebruikers hebben het jarenlang moeten stellen zonder de functies die in de loop der tijd wel aan de AIM Windows-versies waren toegevoegd. De lijst met veranderingen voor deze vierde bètaversie van AIM for Mac 1.5 ziet er als volgt uit:
AIM for Mac 1.5 Beta 4 available for download!
