9. Two names at once
While it may seem like a good thing it can also be an invasion of privacy. Unofficial AIM clients will NOT alert you of 2 or more people signed on your name. In fact AIM may not alert of you of this ethier. If another person is logged on as you they can see to EVERYTHING another person types to you. However they cannot hear what you type back to that person. Think in terms of a Y connection and you will see what I'm talking about.




How would I know if someone signs in using my screen name? I guess what I am asking is which AIM clients do not alert?

thank you
