Did the trick perfectly. I wish there was a Global “stop that” for this function, rather than having to tweak 4 different events, but that’s nitpicking.
Speaking of wishlists and notifications: any way anyone knows of to have the “XXXX is trying to view your Webcam; would you like to allow?” Message come up as that annoying XP systray message? As it is today, the alert comes up and is lost behind several other applications, so I don’t see it until later.
I’m a big fan of Trillian Pro, and one of the reasons is the webcam feature. With the Yahoo webcam, you can do one thing that MSN Messenger (my latest favorite) can’t do: publish simultaneously to a webpage. All you need is a Geocities account:

Then, when you are logged in with Trillian Pro, broadcasting your webcam, any user can see you, not just if they are on IM. I find this extremely helpful, as many folks like to see if I’m at my desk before IM’ing or calling. This way, it also lets friends who are not on IM see the webcam, as well.
Yes, Trillian Pro has really dropped the ball on the webcam support (upgrading, multi-platform, quality), but for the basic, as well as the renaming and multi-name combining features, it’s worth the measly $25. I DO wish it was not a yearly fee, however. That alone may make me rethink my paying…
Fire’s not bad, but it’s pretty unstable…I get about an hour of use out of it before it crashes. iChat AV is not all that much better, honestly. iChat may be the best IM client for the Mac, ever, but multiplatform is killer.
Apple was able to do what was suppposedly illegal and impossible with the iTunes store; maybe iChat AV can go multi IM? 😡
