[iBook] Re: Audio Input on Graphite 366/SE

[Tom Karlen]

Thanks All for your help and suggestions.  Video chat requirements are 
indeed G3/600 or better.  Audio requirements are
	▪ 	 Mac OS X 10.2.5 or later (Mac OS X 10.3 or later for iChat AV 2.1 
or later)
	▪ 	 Any PowerPC G3 microprocessor or later
	▪ 	 iSight, or any microphone
	▪ 	 56 kbit/s modem connection
So looks like its worth mailing her the dongle & a mike and testing it.

Cheers

TK
