Download GAIM 0.66

There are now a number of different Instant Messaging networks. As a result, it is possible that a number of friends or acquaintances use an IM network that you do not use. Therefore, IM programs have been developed that support multiple IM networks. GAIM is one such program and provides support for AIM, ICQ, MSN Messenger, Yahoo, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu and Zephyr.
