Even though I had my share of problems with my ibook lately (as I write this my ibook G4 is in repairs again) I like Mac computers. I don’t regret switching even though there is a learning curve. Once the switch is made some kind of symbiosis takes place.
I our world of instant communication and connection we need reliability. A good and fast connection and the right tools. Internet connection has improved here in Thailand in the last 8 years, but can still drive you crazy. It is slow and fails all the time. But programs have improved. I use ichat, a mac only program. If a windows user wants to chat with me on ichat there AIM has a free program for Windows. Then I use MSN for Mac from Microsoft and of course skype . I must say I am no big "chatter". Still with some people it’s a great way to stay connected. With others e-mail is great. Others the occasional phone call is the way to go.
I found another small application on the internet. (I like those little apps.) This one combines all the chat programs, except skype. So this way I don’t have to have them all open. Specially if you are the seriuos chatter and have lot’s of different screen names and chat programs. Here is a list of what you can use with Adium.
