I’m looking for an auto away programme that would tell friends that I am unavailable. I thought this would be easy to find on the net, not so! I have used aol auto away in the past and liked it, but now it just keeps coming up as not available. I have searched for others (shareware as I don’t mind paying for it, it’s something I would use alot) but can’t seem to come up with anything. Could someone point me in the direction of a fairly good one?
