Mental Note: Do not close a AIM window until you've saved the info that you needed from it. Especially when it's the wishlist for your brother's girlfriend's birthday.
Addendum: James Brown is not the same as Billy Joel. It doesn't matter how your brain got there, you're still wrong.
I would just like to clarify that the Godfather of soul and the Piano Man are very different people. While Billy may sing, "it's all about soul" he was not referring to James Brown. so, while I didn't start this fire, i will put it out.
You should install AIM+. See http://www.big-o-software.com/.
