rochelle, Ben, Larry and I have been playing with the new iChat AV beta from Apple. Aside from the normal text message, it allows for voice over internet to whomever you're chatting with. The quality is amazing. No special microphones. Just talk to your computer. Much better than anything I've ever tried aside from the $16k polycom unit at KMDI that I use sometimes.
I don't have the video camera to go with it, but perhaps I will get one as soon as I have the funds.

Posted by: crw at June 27, 2003 06:59 PMiChatAV is a lot of fun, but I'm sure my neighbours are wondering who it is I'm shouting at and why that person isn't shouting back. "Oh, listen, honey, that strange man upstairs is yelling at himself again. Better call the police."
