Well, maybe instead I should just show you:
So you see what I’m getting at: you type something in the chat window and it appears as a “chat status” sort of thing instead of a bit of text being spoken by your buddy icon. You can do this by just typing “/me” and then the text you want to broadcast. iChat will paste down your name followed by the text.
I just learned this today and I’ve been trying to figure out just what you’d really use it for. I suppose the most likely application is, you know…”stage directions.”
This other guy knows that as soon as I come back up from the basement, we’ll settle once and for all who the true loser is.
I guess you never used irc. As far as I am aware this is a standard feature of every chat client.
Hunh. I did use IRC before iChat, but never on a regular basis. Learn somethin’ new every day, eh?
Do you happen to know how, or rather if, this works with people who use Adium? I have a couple friends who’re stubborn about that for some reason.
Nerd fight!!!!

Hmmm… Adium… no, before that… GAIM on Linux! No… wait… OH YEAH! IRC! Geesh, Andy, we need to get you into a controlled environment for your introduction to the Internet Relay Chat. Let me know if you’re interested in joining us over at Comic Genesis.

….and now back to your regularly scheduled discussion.
The question is moot, because Dark Phoenix could kick both of their asses. Simultaneously.
Andy, when I tried this from my leopard mac pro to my wife’s tiger G5, it worked as expected on my end but appeared as conventional old bubbles on her end.
Is this a Leopard only tip?
@Shane Yup, looks like it’s Leopard only. But still, so cute. I still have the /me tic from n+1 years ago… :-)
