@mac.com name on Aol Instant Messenger

Have any of you tried using your mac.com username to log into the newest aol client. Well I had it, fire, and adium running all at the same time with different AIM names and of course my mac.com name.

However the buddy list for mac.com which was the same buddy list as the others, did not display the same buddies online as the normal AIM names. Has anyone else had this problem?

It is because the @mac.com SN only works with the people that have the latest version of AIM or AOL for OS X iChat and I think the latest version of AIM for the PC. So if your buddys are using something oother than those they wiill not appear online and you won't appear online to them.
