to begin with, what does idle mean?

when selecting the status (with a08b3) be right back, on the phone, out to lunch, busy or invinsible, does it really show that to msn users as it would show if i used msn?

Idle means that they havent been active at the computer for some time. 10 mins is standard on most clients I think..

Yes, because that would mean thatbased on present day physics, that it's basically the duration of 2.757.789.531.000 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium-133 atom at zero kelvins.


Very important, yes? :wink:
