AmesMUG: iChat won't connect

[Brandon Newendorp]

Your buddy list for AIM (which iChat uses) is actually stored on the  
AIM servers, which is why you can log in with your screen name on any  
computer and have your buddy list.  If you have paired names up with  
screen names, those are stored in your OS X address book, which  
wouldn't be affected by reinstalling iChat.

Before re-installing iChat, you may want to try using a different  
account, just to make sure it isn't a problem with your primary AIM  
account.  If you want to delete iChat's plist file, it is in ~/ 
Library/Preferences (home directory, Library, Preferences).
