David Pogue on iChat’s cool preferences:
Here’s a little tweak that nobody ever mentions: the preference setting called “Watch for my name in incoming messages.” It alerts you any time anyone, in any of the open chats, types your name, even if you’re doing something else on the Mac. (As in, “David, are you there? David!? DAVID!!”)
What if people call you Dave?
