A non-profit I'm involved in needs to do a three day video conference: somewhere between ten and 16 people will be participating.

Any thoughts on costs? Most of the free services limit you to four people on screen at once. Megameeting? Some of the video chat software?

Will there be 10-16 locations? Or just 10-16 people who need to be on at once, but in 2-4 locations, or? Not that I actually have any sugestions, but seems that would make a difference in what you can do. (16 little screens of heads on my computer would freak me out)

Yeah -- it depends on how many people are traveling. We might need to have ten or twelve little heads on the screen at once. I wonder how practical that is -- even if everybody has big screens.

Actually that's going to become more of a bandwidth issue to do 10-12 streams to each site.

I totally love my iPhone too!

I'm listening to the most recent (all iPhone) TWiT, and it's so cute how everyone sheepishly admits that they bought 2...

Also, D is in his sling in my lap right now, and he's very fussy listening to this. Clearly he wants me to get an iPhone, right? And honestly, what kind of mother would I be if I denied him?

Clearly he wants me to get an iPhone, right?

Of course! He's just a baby -- how can you expect him to deal with the graphical conventions of a typical phone interface?

OS X question--how do you switch between windows of an application? The ^F4 equivalent, I mean. There must be an easier way than mousing the main mail window, for instance, out of the way of the child message window.

Command-backquote.

I use F10, I think. Either that or F11 shows you all the windows of the program you're in and I usually select the one I want from that screen.
