<< Maybe this is a silly question but why not just use the away feature? >>
becuase, sometimes thats enough.. sometimes its really nice to apear idle, that way they dont think you're at your computer.. becuase i always have an away message up when i'm at my computer.. This makes people think i'm not even at it...
yeah, i know it sounds dumb but it makes sense in my head
the invisible feature would be okay-- but i wouldtn want other people to be able to use it, just me
