There is also Skype. That's what I (OS X) use to talk to my sister (Win 98).
When we landed here you said you needed a few days to get space worthy again and is there somethin' wrong with your bunk?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Thanks ita - this is absolutely option #2 - which I have but she doesn't... but it seems she's gotten AIM, finally, so I'm hoping... fingers crossed.

Having tried AIM I like Skype better, FWIW.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
ita, how is your Apple TV working out? When you want to watch something you've downloaded, do you transcode it, or have you hacked the Apple TV and put other codecs on it?

Transcode, Tom. Why?
Welcome too the 22nd century, Sox. It's kinda cool, huh?

But if I get a Mac Mini, I won't have to get a separate DVD player!
OTOH, if I get a Mini, I'll end up paying a lot more money for no additional disk space.
Maybe I should just wait and see if Apple comes out with a new Mini. It hasn't been refreshed in a long time.
