    67         <li><b>Username:</b> This is the username you will be officially referred to with.  Jabber is still young, and individual servers are always sprouting up, so it's easy to get a good one (The most often picked usernames being <i>napalm, kitty, cutie, john, jim,</i> etc...)!
     59        <li><b>Username:</b> This is the username you will be officially referred to with.
    6860        <li><b>Password:</b> Your password.
    6961        <li><b>Create This Account:</b> If this is a new account for you, check this box and the account will be created (if possible) before you log in.  In the future, when you login with the same username, you want to keep this box unchecked.
    70         <li><b>Auto-login:</b> This is a handy option if you just want Jabber for <font COLOR=BLUE>B</font><font COLOR=RED>e</font>OS to log you in with your last entered username/password automatically.  It's quicker than entering in your information all the time, but also less secure.  If you're on a single-user machine, this is a recommended option.

    9284<p>There are two basic concepts when dealing with this list: <i>roster</i> and <i>presence</i>.  While many external chat systems
    93 treat these concepts as one entity, Jabber keeps them separate.  What you need to rememeber is that even if you add a friend to your list (<i>roster</i>), you don't automatically begin seeing their online status (<i>presence</i>). You need to ask for it.

The ICQ-style of messages can be handy for quick messages that require no, or little response.  They can be handy because the window goes away when you respond to one.

It's a one-on-one chat, you and one other user, with messages scrolling on the top of the window and an area below to enter your next message.  This is the most pleasant way to communicate long conversations.

    231223<p>If you're familiar with other <font COLOR=BLUE>B</font><font COLOR=RED>e</font>OS apps such as GimICQ and BeAIM, you know that getting unofficial chat clients for popular chat systems is not a new thing.  Anything on the Internet is hackable, so there's no reason to believe AOL and ICQ have secured their networks better than any hackable e-commerce system.
    232 Well, these unofficial clients are just that -- clients.  GimICQ only lets you talk to other ICQ users, BeAIM the same with AOL users.  However, Jabber lets you talk to both of these systems and more!
    233 
    234 <p>As with GimICQ and BeAIM, the idea is that you have a login to the external system already.  What you do is <i>register</i> your login information with the Jabber transport that's responsible for talking with that system.  Once complete, you can chat with AOL users just as easily as you can with Jabber users themselves.
