iChat

Holger, my friend in Berlin, Germany, prompted me this morning via iChat. We both decided to take advantage of iChat's audio capabilities and had a conversation this morning via our laptops.

Sitting in front of the laptop and talking to it is awkward at first. For me, at least I can do this in the privacy of my own home, but for Holger, talking to his laptop while in the office must have been a pretty amusing sight for his colleagues. We both plan to add a video component in the future via the addition of an iSight camera. I suspect we'll have quite a bit of fun with that.

iChat can be utilized with either AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) or through a mac.com account. The technology is cool nevermind the cost savings for an international phone call. I've become an Apple evangelist. :-)

i used to do that via MSN - although i don't have speakers on this monitor :( Q likes using his webcam and often points it in my direction when i'm not looking. he's been killed a thousand times for having done that.
