I have AIM on my PC at home, but it is freshly installed and I haven’t got round to customising the standard setup. On my PC at work, when one of my “buddies” logs off, I get a cheery “goodbyeeeeee!” courtesy of Bugs Bunny (yeh, I know – I’m a big kid). The standard AIM sound is a slamming door. I hate it. It seems sometimes to be a personal comment, a door slammed in anger, perhaps even in the face. Especially when the person who is leaving is someone you’d really like to be talking to, but feel that you should wait for them to initiate the conversation.
