Ian, it's a neat program..thanks ..but, I'm still faced with the same problem. How do I add Gmail friends that I want to see in GTalk? There's a friend that told me to talk to them in GTalk, and I have their email in my Gmail contacts..but the name doesn't show in my chat box.. I should be able to see the name, even if they're not signed in, or invisible..like I other names in the box.
