thanks chrono,
dont mind can you elaborate on that? cos it seems that Plus' contacts events window only tracked the status of the contact. It didnt tell you the actual status of the contact (ie. contact can be at his machine even though his/ her status is set to away and that is done deliberately by him/her)

Any help will be appreciated. Thanks a million. Thanks again , chrono

just check how long they've been gone? if they've been gone past the average brb then i guess they're not there...idle.

Gosh, seems that the reply is out of point. :P What i meant is that is there any way of knowing whether the contact is at his machine even though his/ her status is set to away and that is done deliberately by him/her)

This is so true, since the internet we have truly become lazy. What I posted will show you if their status is set to idle. Meaning they haven't touched their mouse in X many minutes so you would have an idea if they are there or not. If the person sets their status it will never be idle. the idle status will never overwrite anystatus. (example you put your status to away and walk away, Messenger wont change it to idle). This is the best and easiest way to see if their computer hasn't been used in a bit besides Chronos oh so intelligent way.
