is there anyway to see if your contact is still @ his computer. by example someway to see if he is writhing messages to another person or listening music ??

sow that will tell me if he is at his computer or not?

no, sorry, to my knowledge there is no way to find this out apart from asking them or having them on webcam, sorry.
As for A-patch, Crimcz means that if you have A-patch installed you can  set it to show your status as idle in a period of say 20 inactive mins...

(i think so anyway, sorry if im wrong but im 95% sure this info is correct!)

its not really possable to tell if there actualy sitting at there seat

unless you install some kind of special chair

you could use apatch, like the other users say... to see the difference between idle / away, but... the user has to have the option checked, to be marked idle if inactive for a period of time (whatever they choose)

if they have this & are inactive, (Idle) will appear next to their nickname, if they manually set their status to (Away) .. it will just appear as it does normally.

not sure if this works for 'Busy' , i haven't noticed, if anyone has made a patch that does something with the mark (Busy) if running a full screen program, if not they should if its possible, perhaps insted replace (Busy) with (Full-Screen)
