This evening Sneery wanted to talk to his friends the
japanese houseguests for a few minutes. He's got a MacBook Pro, I've got a new MacBook Regular. We
couldn't get iChat AV to work, but Skype *did* work. Now at least we've got options when iChat AV doesn't work, which is frequently around here.
Of course it could be the router. I've got a
dick in a box due to arrive on Tuesday which I was hoping would alleviate the problem, but tonight's experience demonstrates that it is possible to achieve acceptable functionality with this hardware.
