Finally: Skype Video Calling For Macs
Mac Skype users who have been salivating over the video-calling that PC users have had for a while can wipe their drool. Skype just released Skype Mac 2.0 beta. You need "OS X v10.3.9 Panther or newer, a G4, G5, or Intel processor running at 800 Mhz or faster, 512 Mb RAM, 40 MB free disk space" and of course, an Internet connection.
Video display can be within a Skype window or full-screen. (Hey! Do PC Skype users get that?!) You also get to see yourself in a separate window, in case you have a piece of chive in your teeth or pizza sauce all over your the front of your shirt. (Unless of course, you want it that way.) Don't forget the niceties of video calling, especially in a video-conference.
Apparently, Skype also released Skype for Mac OS X 1.5 Gold, but I see nothing about it or 2.0 on the Mac OS X download page. Sightspeed, by the way, has had video-calling for Macs for quite some time.
