First of all, praise the Irish.
And now my Apple question: what is the simplest way to chat with people on iChat, without an Apple product? Is there any way? What about AIM?
Or, if I must buy an Apple, what is the cheapest option to use or access iChat?
There is some info on the net but I don't want to wade through it any longer. I was going to buy a Mac Air but they have a slow internet connection, thus I wonder if iChat and other streams would work properly.
iPhone, iDon't know. iPhones use Message but not iChat?
This site seems home to the tekkiest tekkies so I thought I'd ask here. Should I just find a desktop Apple? I only want an Apple Something so I may chat with family on iChat.
Thanks in advance for any info.
