I've wondered about this since I switched to the Mac last year. Where do Mac users chat? You cant go into MSN chat rooms anymore unless you pay. Even then I think you cant use MSN chat with Safari. As far as Yahoo chat, the java applet is screwy as hell on this machine and besides alot of yahoo chat is voice based and not supported. I used to use talkcity.com but now that doesnt seem to work either. Where do Mac users chat?
Thanks in advance,
Norm

I don't think he's refering to a messneger or aim service. he's talking about chat rooms. Yahoo only worked in Jaguar. once, I "upgraded" to Panther, it stopped working. My advice is to tell Apple that we need a decent Java applet.
