Do you have iChat "log" your messages automatically? If so, how many do you currently have?

It's a preference in iChat (by default, it's off):

iChat > Preferences > Messages > Check "Automatically save chat transcripts"

voyageur · Nov 3, 2004, 09:07 PM

I don't log them. It would be like taping a phone conversation.

Can you record iChat videoconferencing?

Gankdawg · Nov 4, 2004, 10:01 AM

0.

MilkmanDan · Nov 4, 2004, 10:03 AM

A lot. I really should turn this off. I mean, really, they are mostly useless.

I have found them quite useful to call people out on stuff they claim they didn't say...especially when dealing with business people.

I guess in business situations. I mean, college pranks and whatnot can only go so far. Now if only I saved those video chats from those hot girls..... oh well...

badidea · Nov 4, 2004, 10:38 AM

What's iChat?
Do I need that if I have a phone?

Ugh, I'd never use any chat for business-related dealings where you'd want a record.

Anyway, 0 for me. No sense saving them.

Depends on the business.

scaught · Nov 4, 2004, 02:39 PM

Skip Breakfast · Nov 4, 2004, 02:48 PM

None. No trail for me, thanks.

Arkham_c · Nov 4, 2004, 03:08 PM

1015 chats since August 2002 totalling 48543 lines of conversation.

Superchicken · Nov 4, 2004, 03:45 PM

2633, but I'm not sure how many months that's for. I don't think I transfered in all my old chats, I think that's just from the start of the school year. I'm not sure though cause I've barely IMed at all this year, I seem to have really stopped talking online with people.
