    can't boot Yahoo messenger 2.5.3 with osx 10.3.8

    Reviewed by: Linda Barwick, Tue Mar 01 2005

    Older versions used to work but 2.5.3 doesn't. There's a thread on macfixitforums about this. Yahoo should upgrade this if they want to recruit mac users.

    Piece of Garbage! (YM for Mac)

    Reviewed by: Tom, Sat Feb 26 2005

    When Yahoo! Messenger for Mac 2.5.3 first came out I was so excited because I could use my webcam with OSX. But then suddenly I noticed one little thing...When I used the old version for OS9, I was able to transfer files to and from Window's users. But I could never get this to work with this version. All of my friends who have Yahoo! Messenger for Windows keep asking me if I can see their photo in the chat window and I say "what photo, where is it supposed to be?". They then think that my version is a very old version and that I need to update it. But the Mac OSX version 2.5.3 is the latest update and has been for about 4 years now. You'd think this is rediculous since the Window's users get frequent updates. They have IMvironments and I love those...but its not available in version 2.5.3 for Mac OSX. Plus they get games, avatars, a lot more emoticons and voice chat. Yes, they get Voice+Video chats and all we get is Video with no sound at all. Most webcams come with microphones these days as well. Also, there is so tech support for Mac users. There is limited help documentation on it. Frequently there are connection problems, freezes, and crashes very often. Plus sometimes the video sometimes stops working in the middle of a chat. You can't get support from Yahoo!. You write to them and they send out the same response to everyone. They say something in the way of them recognizing the demand for Mac support and they are working on it. But they have been using this same response for 4 YEARS!!! I speculate that Microsoft is giving them a large sum of funding and has had Yahoo! fire all of their Mac tech support. So, in my opinion if you have plans to get this program...I hope you will reconsider it and get something else. Its not worth your time and headache to bother with downloading this one.

    Yahoo's cross-platform support is the best

    Reviewed by: Joel Natividad, Mon Feb 07 2005

    Even though it still trails the Windows implementation, the Mac version is still eminently usable and implements all the major features.
    My main IM on the Mac is iChat, what with its Rendezvous support and ability to chat with AOL.
    If I have to chat with my yahoo messengered friends, I fire this baby up.
    And when I must, I grudgingly still use the severely feature-limited, MSN Messenger :(
