[iBook] iPhoto crashing -- Cocktail helped!

[Tom Legare]

Laura,

Chatting between Macs and Windows is still evolving, especially if you want
to use the voice or video conferencing features.  iChat AV is the best
program out there, but it is Mac-only.  If your friend is using MSN
Messenger, you will have to use the Mac version of MSN Messenger to chat
with them.  There are some clones that also work, but iChat AV will not
work.  Also, you will not be able to do audio or video conferencing, just
typing back and forth.

My new problem is a very basic one. Someone on MSN wants to chat with
me via IM. I have a mac.com account. Can I chat with them using iChat,
or do I need to download that &$&*£^@£% MSN software?

Have never used iChat before so am completely lost. I have set the
recipient's service to MSN in the address book section, but still no
luck.
