none of them
thats a feature of iChat
It may be a feature of iChat, but it definitely was in one of the 2.x versions of AIM or Netscape/AIM. I distinctly remember using it (to my great satisfaction and my friends' frustration) in college. The new versions are nice, but even a 1.x works just fine - there hasn't been a revolution in instant messaging since it was invented. Bolting on audio/video chat is nothing new, either...
But where was I going with that?
Anyway, yeah, there was a version of AIM that allowed you to keep your away message up and still send IMs without automatically bringing it down. That feature was fantastic!
Does anyone else recall that?
Peace, Drew
