    you can't switch you just register it, if it isn't taken, but you can continue to use your aol s/n with AIM

    Go to the home page of Yahoo and there is a place to sign up. Yahoo is free but u do have to have a new screen-name. What I did was to add a 1 after my aol s/n. That gives u a new ID but oneU can remember.

    You can't Migrate your names. You can however see if the names you have are taken already at Yahoo. If not, sign up now before someone else grabs them.

    yes but only if no one on yahoo uses the same name, you may have to add a number to the end to make it unique in yahoo

    No because they are two different sites. You would have register under your old screen name if you wanr to have the same one.
