a pretty simple process.

 Hello V-group,

 Anyone have experience with video chat? How about Skype with a Mac?
 I've held off with Skype because some say there are issues w/Mac's.
 Any advice on this topic would be welcome.

 Thanx,

Tom,

I've used video on my Mac with skype for a long time - no issue provided you 
have decent bandwidth. When I talk with my wife who travels a lot sometimes her 
hotel connection (lower bandwidth) can cause issues but typical company and 
home Internet setups are great. 

Get a good usb mic or headset with DSP that improves audio and your caller will 
remark on how present you sound. The built in webcams on macs work great but 
you can also hook some camcorders up as web cams (either Firewire units) or USB 
camcorders with free software drivers like Macam.
