What the 'Jabber' is all this about?

My mind is blown away!!!! Being that my Nicole wants me to be able to video chat via MSN, and my MSN on my Mac does NOT offer this capability, I have just been surfing the net for tips on how I may be able to video chat via a mac......without skype! I have skype and this works a beaut for video chat.....but Nicole doesn't have access to this.

So I try and load ichat to see what all this is about! I don't get very far as I have not used my .mac account for some time and the password appears not to be working! I visit apple to change the password......but still not working for me to log in via ichat and set up an account :-(

Now I am reading a tip for setting up Jabber so that I use ichat via MSN.....and it is getting far too technical for my liking. Putting codes in for servers, Psi, merging in addresses, authorizations

........'well slap me around the head with a wet fish'
