Local network messaging using AppleScript
Authored by: osxpounder on Feb 16, '05 03:57:33PM

Hmm, I don't see the point of any of this effort, when your Mac comes to you with iChat. I'd be pretty angry at finding out my meticulously constructed selection just vanished from the Clipboard, too, and and I also agree that it's annoying to be "ripped out of your program" when you're busy with it. Heck, I don't even like it when other programs *I* chose to run do that to me -- I think it's very rude and disruptive of Mail, for example, to pop up on my screen while it's finishing its startup sequence and downloading my mail. I HATE that. That's what the Dock is for -- so a program can discreetly ask for attention by bouncing, rather than popping itself up between me and my work.
