Maybe when Mac laptops go sub-$1200USD... (minus the 12-inch iBook)
Then I guess I'll get hooked, and find the money somehow to go get another, then an iBook in place of the old AST, and Power Mac G4's in place of the Linux server and PC at work.

Actually, iBook is a very good value for money, consider it's feature :-)

And I am very happy with my PowerBook 12" :-)

BTW, we are quite good at turning most threads into Mac discussion.

I like iBook but I like PBookG4 because I just need more space for some apps and more everything. I'm thinking of replacing a mac as my main computer

Yes, but I would rather get a PowerBook over an iBook.
Per reccomendation of a few friends, although any Mac would probably be faster than a Windows box.

This is turning into a discussion better suited for the Apple Mac vs PC thread . . .

Somewhat back on topic here...
I have AIM 5.2.3292 installed, and I went into Internet Options and set each time an ActiveX script is launched, a prompt would popup asking if it wanted to execute the ActiveX script. Each time I opened the main AIM window, two ActiveX prompts poped up. So AIM 5.2 uses some ActiveX controls. Does anyone know the last AIM version that dosen't use ActiveX?

I think it has forever.
I'm going to download the JARred build of AIM that was included with early Communicators, versions 2 and 3 of AIM, I beleive.

EDIT-
It appears that the JARred builds are gone for earlier Netscapes that included pre-4.0 versions... and I already know that all 4.x and 5.x builds used ActiveX.
I don't want to disturb anything on my machine, so I'm not downloading an installer, but if anyone wants to get creative you can download AIM version 1.0 from www.oldversion.com and see what happens.
