I use IM a reasonable amount a day, and I have it available while on the
couch in front of the tv.... on my laptop..... This lets me do any IM 
stuff at all, without interupting the TV for anyone else watching, 
either in the same room, or on the other sets which get the output.....
When I *do* use the laptop as a video source for AVIs etc (it has TV Out
:) ) and I forget to log out of IM, it pisses me off to have log in 
noises and people sending me messages noises through my speakers..... 
and if running windowed and not full screen, the message window 
obscuring the picture......!

But each to their own.....! :)
