After I get my PowerBook, I'd love to be able to video chat with PC users...

I know that iChat can video chat with AIM, but I'm worried that on the other end, people won't even be able to see me, as the AIM video resolution is thumbnail size...

Does anyone know of any alternative methods (that still boast speeds similar to iChat?)...?

Thanks .

iVisit should be renamed "Gone for 60 days"

PS, unless you pay for iVisit plus, private audio/video connections are time limited. Oh, and the interface is pretty crap by modern standards. But it works..
The worst thing about having a failing memory is..... no, it's gone.
