<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I haven't seen this come up before, but I've got to believe this topic is coming more and more of a curiousity for us iBook owners looking to video conference with our Windows long lost cousins.<BR>
<BR>
My iBook is only a G3/500, so iChat A/V will not let me hook up an iSight camera.<BR>
<BR>
Now I <B>have</B> done video many times in the Windows world, and these are the combinations that seem to work:<BR>
<BR>
AIM: You can do video if you are running Windows XP only<BR>
MSN Messenger: You can do video if you are running Windows 2000 or Windows XP<BR>
<BR>
So...my questions are:<BR>
<BR>
</SPAN></FONT><OL><LI><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>Will any generic USB or Firewire camera work with my iBook 500 with iSight since Apple’s iSight camera requires at least an iBook 600?
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I don’t see any video conferencing option in Mac’s MSN Messenger (ver 4.0.1 currently), will MSN Messenger for Mac do video?
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>What have people found is the best option for Mac to Mac video conferencing if you can’t use iChat A/V?
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>What have people found is the best option for Mac to Windows video conferencing... MSN Messenger? AIM? Is there a Windows version of iChat A/V?
</SPAN></FONT><LI><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>What potholes should I be aware of?<BR>
</SPAN></FONT></OL><FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'><BR>
Thanks!<BR>
