Philly has put Skype on her PC (well, I did, but don't tell anyone!).
So if you're on Skype and wanna chat, send me a PM = Oh we have a webcam too!!!

I've got a web cam, but not Skype. Can't we video chat without me putting Skype on my puter???
Also, Lister, since we spoke last I do have the iChat working on the MacBook Pro, which as a built in web cam. We could video chat too, no???

I have Skype as well as iChat. Skype is great for video conferencing with PC people.
iChat will not work with PC's. EDIT: Turns out it does...my bad!
Skype is free and is very cool. I use it to chat with me dear old mum in South Africa and my bro in the UK......both on PC's.

Yes, it was nice to spend some time with you, Lister.
We'll have to test out the quality of the video on an iChat to iChat, Mac to Mac set up, and compare that to the quality we had with the Mac to PC connection we used tonight.
We may need a Video chat forum???? LOL

Ok, I've decided to set up a separate Skype account for myself on my laptop - it'll take me a couple of days to get round to it, but I'll flag it up when it's go.

I've got the USB phone, and the laptop has a cam, so I should get set up as well.
