Gotta Mac? Use iChat with AIM and .Mac ‘buddies’.
On the Mac, if you don’t subscribe to .Mac, you can still use the iChat app with other .Mac and –>AIM (AOL Instant Messenger). 1) Create a free account on AIM (http://dashboard.aim.com/aim); 2) Launch iChat; 3) change the account type to “AIM” and enter your login info. Now, with a webcam (or attach your video camera) and a AIM/.Mac buddy, you are ready to chat with one and more people face-to-face! Two out of three siblings have Macs…the other can’t participate…maybe I should buy him a Mac!
