Better Than a Long Distance Call
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.
