Q: What versions of Netscape Instant MessengerTM are available?
A:
The latest version is available for Windows95/98/NT computers. Go to the download Web site. "Beta" versions of NIM (available at the same site) are less stable but often contain exciting new features that are not generally released yet.
There is also a Java version called "Quick Buddy", that allows you to send your buddies instant messages when you are not at a computer that has NIM installed. Click here for information about AOL Quick Buddy.
