adium help
on the advice of tommy i downloaded adium to manage all of my many, many instant messaging accounts (well, three, really. gtalk and two AIMs). and i like it. but i have a question - for the life of me i can't figure out how to set up alerts on people. i use alerts on a number of folks - family, coworkers, friends i like knowing are online so i can chat with them - but i am adium dumb and can't find out how to do them. not even google or adium help is helping me. any suggestions?
UPDATE: nevermind! literally right after i posted this i figured it out. am dumb.
UPDATE II: i should mention that i've more or less been converted to macs. i use my own at work now as much if not more than the PC, and after abusing tommy's this past weekend, i like them a lot. now if cnn would just pay me and i would stop spending money on multiple plane tickets back to d.c., i'd have one in my hot little hands right now.

i sort of love adium, and i definitely love it a bunch more than ichat.
you should install growl -- the notifications with it are nice.
I am *this close* to buying a MacBook, but I'm hesitant because of the heat issue that everyone is complaining about.
Go touch them at the store and make up your own mind. I've had it side by side with my work PC laptop and they are both about the same. It's warm, but not awful.
and it's cool
Yeah, Tommy, what's the story—which to buy? MacBook or G4?
No...say it ain't so! I remain a PC stalwart despite those cogent "Hi I'm a Mac and I'm a PC" commercials.
G4? Do you mean a G5? And isn't that desktop? C'mon Kriston, you'd never use a desktop machine. And if you really wanted one, I'd say to get a mini.
But maybe you're asking whether to buy an intel macbook or a used powerpc apple laptop. In that case, I'd say macbook -- but if you can bear to wait for the next release cycle, it'd be ideal. If not, though, I wouldn't have any serious reservations about getting a macbook now.
