Do you have your IM on all the time?

[Bri]

... on away, when you're away, but online. Some people seem to gave their sns on all the time.

when i'm at school, as long as i'm awake, i'm online. i started to keep my computer (and thus my IM) on all night, 24/7, but that started to cause my computer some problems... so i dont plan on doing that again.

otherwise i'm online almost all the time anyway, it might as well be 24/7

I'm signed in MSN as long as I'm on my computer, but when I'm really busy or really pissed off, I exit all my messengers. And specially when there are more than 15 people online, I sign out or appear offline.

If My computer is on, I'm on AIM/MSN. They start with Windows and they stay on all night.

Although unfortunately I'm thought of as "Free Tech support" and am REALLY getting tired of the constant flood of questions.

Oh well....that's what I get for being a geek I guess.

yeah i hear you on that one... i get the "my computer is broken, fix it!" and the "what's wrong with my computer?" all the time.... most of the time, the answer is "nothing's wrong with your computer, its the USER that has the problem...
i should start charging for my services... "well sure i could fix it, but what's it worth to you?"

Don't you just hate the computer illiteracy of some people..

I used to have my Instant Messaging clients on all the times, but I have stopped doing this after having to catch up to every messages left for me to answer, and I am not always on-line.

Yes, but some people I have on my contact list are deaf/hearing impaired, they couldn't help if they couldn't understand nor read real well. Some of them were schooled at the deaf schools where the education usually are not above third-grade level, even in high school.

I think that if I kept my MSN and AIM up all the time, I'd go nuts over all the complaints and whining I got. I get a lot of whining from a few MSN people because of some such a thing on a community I help run and my sister constantly whines to me on AIM. So if I didn't close them down, I'd end up going on a homocidal rampage, I think.

yes, i leave my AIM messenger open as much as i can keep online ( god i hate dial up *prays for cable*) anywho, i keep it up as much as i can till i cant stand the whinning. like, "oh can you hack this girl she stole my buddylist, i mean i gave it to her and she wont give me hers" i liked that one the best or "can you hack runescape cause this guys stole my hat (i think its was a hat) and experiance level" i mean, where do these ppl come from? and the funniest thing about it, I have over 40 ppl in my own lil column i like to call "idiots & morons" on my AIM buddylist i tell ya i keep racking them up. i feel for you all who get these silly and time consuming IMS, really i do.
