Hello,
I just found out about a bug in earlier versions of AIM that will enable another person to boot you from AIM. If someone sends this: & #770; (without the space between the & and #) in an IM to you, and you're using an earlier version, AIM will crash and you'll be disconnected. It is fixed in the newest versions, however. So if you use AOL IM and don't want this to happen, upgrade to the newest beta version!

Just thought I would let everyone know!
