This is a great idea (and especially helpful at work) if you often need to refresh your memory about a conversation. With this preference set, iChat saves a log file of every chat. (Go to iChat -> Preferences, click on Messages, select Save Chat Transcripts To, and then choose a folder.) By default, the program saves transcripts in a folder called iChats in your Documents folder, but you can choose a different location to store these files. If you use iChat, you can have the program store logs of your chats.
But I also want to draw your attention to a half-dozen digital dust bunnies that you might not have considered: Last year, Chris Breen shared valuable Tips for a tidier Mac-all of which are worth revisiting. Far be it from me to suggest that you clean out your basement, garage, or attic, but I would be remiss if I didn’t recommend you take a closer look at the crusty corners of your Mac.
It’s spring again, and with the new season comes the age-old ritual of cleaning out things you ignored for most of the year.
