Instead iChat prompts a Dialog box for user input; rather contrary to the notion that computers <b>automate</b> work so humans can focus on more important things. I'm also loving features such as auto-accept chats and file-transfers. (Just what was the point of the "accept" Dialog and that odd window shading, anyway?) ...as well as <i>not</i> pausing video chats just because I'm also transferring a file. (Why doesn't Apple put bandwidth management in the firewall/QoS where it belongs, instead of these artificial constraints in the iChat.app?) Any particular reason you, Kent Sutherland, haven't already <a href="http://www.gnu.org/copyleft/gpl.html" rel="nofollow">GPL'd</a> the Chax source code? I don’t seem to have the problem mentioned by Daohead and Lucien.

One thing - I can't get the spotlight search to work - When I search with spotlight in the menubar, it will pull up that chat - but I'm not seeing it when I search with spotlight in the log viewer. Do I need to configure something or re-index something? Great program! I love it.
