Yahoo stayed the same (it was a Carbon application at that point, so the OS9 version WAS the OSX version), and I kept using it. Then OSX came along, and iChat gave us all AIM-based videoconferencing. The very shortcomings of the application were part of what endeared it.

It felt like a rubber band airplane that I'd built out of balsa wood in my basement, and which fell apart violently every second time I'd try to make it fly. I liked how light it felt in OS9, how little memory it took up and even how poorly its buttons were animated. So I used the application, and over time I became fond of it.
#App yahoo mail for mac software
In 2001, NO chat software for the Mac had any webcam support. Sure, I had AIM - everyone used AIM - but my girlfriend had Windows and a webcam. I remember back in the early 2000s, when I was still using a G3 under OS 8.6, and Yahoo Messenger was my go-to messenger.
