Then the trick is to get an AIM client like Adium that sorts your contacts by their idle status, whether they're listed as away or not. And then I can contact LoCash, alcimedes, and Brad whenever I want.



Oh yeah, I'm really non-addicted to AIM. I don't really like going online and I generally only do so when I want to quickly ask someone a question. I associate AIM with staying on way too long and getting into big conversations that are hard to back out of politely. I pop on for a minute to ask one person a quick question, intending to immediately sign off and get back to more important things like gaming, and poof! a bunch of chat windows always come up, initiating conversations I don't want to have.
