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.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

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.
