Hi
AIM is a somewhat separate part of AOL.
They have their Own Registration Page
It is labelled AOL but you will notice the full name bit lists @AIM.com
Choose a User name and check that it is not in use already
You will need to supply an email for verification and password recovery plus answer some security questions as you set up the Screen Name.
Once confirmed put the detail in iChat
iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Press the + icon lower Left and use the AIM option in the top line on the new Screen/Pane
Although it will look like you have created a Name that is [email protected] you will not need the @aim.com bit in iChat.
Add the details to the pane and click DONE
You can now add your sister's Screen Name to your Buddy list.
Double click to Chat if she is showing as On line.
