Anyone know how I can use iChat on my Mac to chat with someone's Googletalk account? It's theoretically possible, according to Google, but I'm having a hard time figuring it out.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

You log in using the Jabber protocol, but I can't remember what other services you can use with Jabber to log in with.

Hmm. I think I lack something that Jabber needs. Will continue to try...

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
It has to be a fairly new iChat to work. At least, I know I've used a version of iChat that didn't use Jabber. 3.1.4 works easy peasy.
