<p>If you’ve ever needed to reboot in the middle of an <a href="http://osxdaily.com/tag/ichat/">iChat</a> conversation you know how distracting it can be to your train of thought, plus it’s also a huge interruption to the flow of conversation. An easy solution to this is to set iChat to keep track of your last messages:</p>

<ul>

<li>Open iChat Preferences from the iChat menu</li>

<li>Click on the “Messages” tab</li>

<li>Click the checkbox next to “Save chat transcripts to:” to enable the option underneath</li>

<li>Select the checkbox next to “In new chat windows, show:” and then select how far back you want to display</li>

</ul>

<p>Now anytime you open iChat the specified number of messages will be shown in the window, allowing you to quickly get back on track and resume your conversation.</p>
