Vista - Re: PC to Mac

Thank you. This comes down to how many Instant Messaging programs one wants
to have running on their machines at the same time. Unfortunately, my group
of friends are mostly on PC's and the other person's are mainly on Mac's.
She doesn't want to add Messenger for the Mac as I would be the only one to
communicate with and I really don't want to install AIM to only have her to
communicate with. I am trying to get her to install Skype for the Mac but so
far I am being met with resistance because she doesn't have much computing
power to start with and doesn't want to "dilute" it with the addition of
another IM program.

I guess that I will have to stick with the telephone for the time being.

Thanks to all who replied.
