Eynnat
: It's usually dockING station. Doron: laptops borrowed this term from other, earlier uses; it's generic. Igun is WRONG (like so much else in MS glossaries): it means 'anchoring'.

: Too late, but "תחנת עגינה" is a device used by laptops. See HP site etc. MY SOLUTION: The MS glossary uses עיגון for docking, and that's also used in many applications, not just chats. I'd translate: יוזזו מהעיגון שלהם.

In this context, dock and docking is היינו הך; agina is perfect.
