I use AIM all of the time. It has been very valuable as a student. I am in the Pepperdine Grad Progam. It is a wonderful way for students to compare notes on group projects, to get help or advice on tech issues or assignments. The human side of sharing thoughts and feelings is also a great component. When one of our techs tried to get me to use it a year ago, I was very negative. Now that I am using it, I am a supporter of IM - and AIM in particular.
