Has anyone ever tried to embed "AIM" into RR?

AOL Instant Messenger, Anyone ever try to embed it into RR? Would this even be possible?
I know, most of us are responsible enough to not have a conversation while driving, but it would be neat to be able to contact people, if need be... (messenger, voice, etc)

Anyone else see this as an interesting idea?

There was a nother thread about embedding an IM into a frontend. It hink it was AIM, but I don't remember the front-end.

Personally, I think it's a horrible idea.
Sure, you're responsible enough to not use it while driving. So are most of us. But there's that assclown that's stupid enough to try it.
That jackass will run over a little old lady and prompt a Jack Thompson-esque lawyer to attempt to outlaw vehicle computing, making our lives more difficult.

I use skype on wifi, but not while driving

Uh Uh Uh, You didn't say the magic word !

Skype might be doable , im sure there is a plugin available for media portal which is an open source htpc media center program ,like meedio or showshifter.So it appears to be bendable.
Also talking or video messanging with someone while in the car is no more dangerous than cell phone usage, at least it is hands free.

Well, the same could be said of anything regarding a carPC!!! It is a dangerous hobby!
In any case, If anyone has embedded Trillian, it would be neat to see it in RR...
