Somebody give me a crash course in AIM.

[The One and Only...]

I just IMed someone three times before I realized that she may be online but is in an "away state." What the hell does that mean, anyway?

[AChimp]

It means she doesn't like you.

[The One and Only...]

No, it means that she isn't at the computer. That's what the Away message is for. It's not as if it targets specific users, and even if it did, she couldn't target me because she doesn't know my s/n.

[The One and Only...]

And yes, I did find that out with the help feature.

BTW: ROG, PLEASE FIX THE EDIT FEATURE.

She's around but just away from the computer. Or she's in the middle of Imming somebody else. Just wait a bit.

[DeadKennedys]

Don't worry, It'll all work out!

Wait a bit?

Let me put this in perspective:

Online time: 6 hours, 9 minutes.

She must be one of those types that leaves the damn thing on all day. She might not be back at all, and I don't feel like sitting at my computer that long.

You can set it so that some kind of alarm type thing goes off when she comes back from being away... just right click on the name, and go down to "alert me when *whoever* is available"... of course, you'll still have to be at your computer to hear the alert, but if you set your volume loud enough, you can go do other things around the house, and just be sure to listen for the noise

[Terra]

Then leave and don't obsess over it.

Agreed. I'll check back at 9:00 or 9:30.

Oh yeah, and I figured out how to read the Away message. Says "english homework."

[McMock]

She could be leaving her pc on to download something. I do it all the time. Those warez don't p2p themselves, you know.

[Esuohlim]

Jesus, what the hell is wrong with you OAO?

[McMock]

What the hell is wrong with using AOL? I used IM clients too. I talk to people too. Nothing is wrong with that.

[Jixby Phillips]

OAO is amazing

[AChimp]

How the fuck do you make it this far in life without learning how to use an IM program, especially when you're under 18?

But we all know you will.

[sadie]

if this were a poll and i were prone to voting in polls, i'd vote she's-at-the-computer-ignoring-you.

[Emu]

Go over to her house if you can manage to drag your immense manhood that far. Or, even better, try calling her.

Between Adeptninja and Metalmilitia, i think this forum is completely under control. ;D

Way to go guys! ;D

[Sethomas]

I love how OAO purveys himself to be an economics wunderkind, and now that he thinks he's in the door he takes up every possible opportunity to prove what a fucking dumbass he is.
