It can also be used to select among multiple open iChat logins you have to send a message to that buddy, or to select among multiple accounts you have registered in Address Book for that buddy.

DealBITS Drawing: PDFpenPro Winners -- Congratulations to Kevin Wong of csua.berkeley.edu, Rick Jarnat of earthlink.net, and Ferd Diemer of lycos.com, whose entries were chosen randomly in last week's DealBITS drawing and who each received a copy of SmileOnMyMac's PDFpenPro PDF editing utility, worth $94.95. Even if you didn't win, you can save 10 percent off the purchase price of either PDFpen ($49.95 for those who don't need to create PDF forms) or PDFpenPro using the URL below; this offer is open to all TidBITS readers. Thanks to the 746 people who entered, and extra thanks to the 54 people who entered after being referred to DealBITS.
