[G4] iChat

[David DelMonte]

I bought three - one for me and one each for my kids. First impressions 
are that this is brilliant new (as in useful) technology. I have had 
webcams in the past but the integration and ease of use is really 
superb.

We've used ours now across country and DSL - Cable bandwidth is 
required of course. As is the minimum specs or better.

The only marginally negative comment so far - and maybe this is my 
current setup - is that Mr. Job's claim that you look directly in the 
camera is just not right. If I look in the camera, I'm not looking at 
the screen, so my offspring sees my face but I cant see his - or vice 
versa.

I have a large screen and maybe the problem is exacerbated with this.

Anyway we love em.

Next week I'm traveling to Europe and will try it there over an ISDN 
connection.
