I've been using skype for a while now, which works fine for me. Not to mention last time I checked, they didn't have a mac client available... which pretty well rules it out.

A little worried about what will happen now that ebay is buying skype though...

harofreak00@gmail.com?

i just read that gmail claims to soon get everyone on board gtalk (mac users too) and i believe them. when they claimed that they would get multi-language support for gmail, they did it in mere months.

Yeah, I'll probably switch over when skype announces that they're going to charge - I figure it'* only a matter of time. They do have some nice features though, that make it more than just a chat client - you can (for a set fee per month) dial land lines, or have land lines call you, as well as get voice mail (like 10 minutes per message, or something like that).

All in good time. I'm still waiting for them to make google earth available for the mac...

google earth is tight. i have mapped all the places i ever lived (found the actual houses)
