Finally my mom got Skype installed, and we tried to chat, but the quality was horrible. Long delays, the sound failing half the time, sometimes our voices reduced to robot-speak...

Maybe if I get her to switch to AIM... (She wants me to install MSN Messenger 7.5) I had heard that AIM did not always work with iChat. But I found a German blog post saying that you need to install a patch for XP. And one of the comments said that the Windows XP box was hosed after that. ¹ And GoogleTalk with voice only works on Windows. Argh.

GoogleTalk

Then again, I just realized that I was listening to InternetRadio. Ouch!

pois— aber AIM hat keine audio/video-funktion... Es wäre doch interessant zu wissen, warum es das nicht bei msn für mac-benutzern gibt. Dann könnte man wenigstens testen, es funktioniert. ubrigens mit dem mikrofon: ich muss skype noch einmal oben am pc testen, vielleicht hat mein laptop grundsätzlich probleme mit der buchse... Wahrscheinlich will microsoft nur “chatiieren”, so wie hier die telecom 2 monate gebraucht hat, um mich “freizugeben”...

Komisch, ich glaube AIM hat das. Es nennt sich “AIM Talk”. ¹
