Oh AIM. I back in the late 90's it was _the_ async/online communication method for the startup I was working for. The boss would do the interruption thing over aim, we'd have a morning 'standup'. I remember hooking an Eliza bot to respond to the boss, and it took him far longer than it should have for him to figure it out. Good times.
