Please Invent This Number 2: Paperclip

Have you ever been reading a web page or doing something within a window while trying to have an instant message conversation like I am trying to do now. The little orange light brightens every time they respond, you have to stop what you are doing and open the window. Reply. When you return to your . . *stop open up IM window. . reply to Lilly's IM*.. return to task at hand you find you have lost your momentum *dang it Lilly quit IM'ing me while I write this.*. .

Of course if your are like me the curiosity of what they say supercedes all other trains of thought and you must compulsively interupt the task at hand to open the IM window, because the unopened IM window glows brightly like the embers of unexplored gossip. BRB CODE ORANGE.

My solution, the ability to attach the IM window to whatever window you are currently working on with a "paperclip" option. Thus the IM window will attach to the open window and stay in the forefront. If you glance around windows much of the room is taken up by advertising and other wasted space.

Another use would be the score of the pinochle game I play, I could attach it to the pinochle game window. Additionally I could hook together groups of smaller windows like a quilt and further increase my multitasking. . . The possibilities are wonderful. I need this skill.

Please invent the Paperclip quilt window.

This sounds like something Mozilla Firefox would do. On a semi tangent I love Mozilla Firefox's window browser, because it lets you tab, unlike windows which puts everything in the dang blue area where stuff starts stacking up.
