I just set up iChat on a Mac here in the office for iSight video chat and I don't know anyone with iSight to test it with! Does anyone out there have iChat with iSight set up?

If so, you can try connecting with me - my username is TomFulpChat. If I don't respond, I'm either busy or already have three people in video chat. I hope I'm not unlocking a total crapstorm by announcing this on the front page. :)

Nice. I've never heard of iChat before. O__o So no, I wouldn't have that, sorry Tom. Still, nice update.

Response to iChat Experiment 2005-10-27 14:20:22

Depends on how many Mac users are in the Newgrounds audience... Not too many, most likely...

But yeah, prepare to be bombarded anyways. >:\

i thought you might get a few of these "mac sucks" comments
i dont use a mac, but thats down to both a lack of funds and lack of experience with the OS.

although im VERY curious about it, as far as i can see it is basically just like any other OS but flashier, and apparently less prone to attacks.

cant think why that not many NG users would use a Mac came from, from what i hear macs are far better for flash development as well as photoshop etc. seeing as NG is primarily a flash site i would have thought a good chunk of us ARE mac users.

Response to iChat Experiment 2005-10-27 15:00:01


I have an isight and ichat, but i don't use ichat. It would be interesting to see if it would work all the way across the pond (im in the uk)

Yea, that's why most people think Mac's suck too. Lack of expierence and funds.

True. I dont have virus protection, but still have never gotten a virus.

True, true, true, true, true. Anyone who doesnt like macs has never used one for over 1 hour at a time.

yea, i have ichat.. it actually works with any kind of firewire video camera, so if you're curious to find out how it works i'll connect with ya some time; i use my mini-dv camera.

Well Mac should be thanking you now cuase im sure your going to have millions of people rushing to get a mac computer to use the Ichat and get a chance to talk to you....good luck and sry if this plan backfires on ya

Response to iChat Experiment 2005-10-27 15:22:08


yeah crapstorms seriously suck, thought i've never really seen one.

Good luck dude.

Response to iChat Experiment 2005-10-27 15:24:48


that's cool, but ive never heard if it,

Response to iChat Experiment 2005-10-27 15:27:42


I have a mac and I have iChat, but I don't have iSight. I believe iSight has a built in mic and uses FireWire or USB to connect? My mac mini doesn't have a line in, so I would need another mic connection.

glaeil, you don't have a virus because the only other macintosh user online doesn't feel like making one.

haha, yep thats mostly the reason with linux too

It's against Toms religion to make thread in general.

Response to iChat Experiment 2005-10-27 16:00:37


I have a Apple PowerBook, and I have iChat, but no webcam. :P (incase you didn't know, it doesn't have to be an iSight, any old webcam will do.)

Do you mean you have a ".Mac" account? If so, everyone you chat to will have to have a Mac, as there is currently no .Mac client for M$ Windows.

Is there an iEverything nowadays?

Response to iChat Experiment 2005-10-27 16:17:14


Damn i don't have that, is there any way you can download it on a regular Windows XP?

Response to iChat Experiment 2005-10-27 16:17:58


Cool. I'd test it with you, but I don't have a MAC :( I was gonna get one a while back but ended up not... Well good luck testing :D

Response to iChat Experiment 2005-10-27 16:22:12


Too much stuff made by apple with an i infront of it. It makes it very confusing.
