Stuff Suzy Loves
Better Than a Long Distance Call
Thursday, October 11, 2007
How do Suzy's kids keep in touch with their Grandparents in Minnesota? Her four-year old logs on to their family Mac and video conferences them using Apple's iChat. If you bought a Mac in the last year, you may not even have noticed that it came with a built-in iSight Camera. If you're Mac is a little older, you can purchase an iSight Camera for $99. All you need is an AOL Instant Message account (Free) or an Apple .mac account. The best part... the connection is free. www.apple.com
*You can use iChat to talk to someone on Windows using the latest version of AIM for Windows, as long as they have a PC-compatible video camera.
