Hi Jamie.
Goto and create yourself an account. You can now add messenger and talk and pretty much all the chat rooms for chatting back and forth between clients via 1 web page.
There is a MSN Mac client as well you can download and install.
you can get msn for mac and it works fine, but it doesn't support wecams, amsn is great however and it supports cams, its a beta version at the moment and is free, i can't give you the link as AOL is acting up badly at the mometn (see aol users thread in chatroom lounge) so is best to google amsn.
if you need help setting up your cam in SH post back here
good luck!
Hi Jamie and welcome to the world of Macs. iChat is the best chat program there is, no advertising like you get with the Windows versions of and MSN, its full screen, multi user video-conferencing is superb.
You can download MSN Messenger from Micro$oft, the only thing which doesn't work is webcamming:

However if you do want to webcam with MSN users then you need to use Mercury from here (click on the Apple, bottom right corner) and use your usual MSN ID and password:

You can cam with users by using Messenger

And finally you can combine friends from iChat, , MSN, ICQ etc into one program by using Adium (webcam functionality coming soon):

On our Macs we use Adium, and iChat - gave up with MSN as we are allergic to anything touched by the hand of Gates. I hope this helps, any questions then please get in touch
Jamie, I have merged your two threads into one as they are about the same thing. Also the cafe will get you a better response than lets meet up wink

Many Thanks for everyones help! i really love my new mac but its just gonna take time to set things up and get used to it!
Macs are fantastic. Once you're up and running you'll never go back to a PC again.
