I have learned never to say never, but I don't IM. I figure that I have a cell phone and an extention my co-workers can use on my desk phone. When I am online I can be reached via e-mail. Makes some of my friends crazy, but I tried it and it made me crazy!
Of course I was one of the last ones to use an ATM card back in the stone age...so what do I know?!
The only person I want to IM with moved in SO.... don't use anymore. Well,actually we do use it from across the kitchen from each other once in awhile !!!!
What's Instant Messaging? j/k
I used to use AOL IM all the time when I was corresponding with my now husband but now that I can just walk downstairs to his office and talk to him using IM might be a bit weird. As for others, I prefer the old fashioned telephone. Right now I don't even have one on my computer. I don't own a cellphone either. Guess I'm not down with the times.

Ditto! I used AOL when I had AOL years ago and it really aggravated me to be in the middle of something and get an IM -- of course demanding an INSTANT reply! I much prefer email.
I hate IM. Because I always forget I'm signed in and when I try to do something important i start typing look away then WHOOP! A window opens and I keep typing away typing away, then BAM! press enter and i'm like yes done with my homework! but NOOOO i just sent it to someone, then they are like wtf? Then i'm like NOOO! then I have to copy and paste. I hate IM. lol.
I prefer email, but not everyone is as into email as I am. I don't own a cellphone.
I use Googletalk to stay in touch with my older kid. It is a wonderful, *cheap* way to communicate in real time, especially when he is out of the country.
I used to be on Yahoo IM but have let it lapse, did not upgrade.
