I will be the first one to admit that I really don’t know anything about computers, except for what I am told by Mike, but I am happy to say that I have an iBook and it is also one of the loves of my life. I am able to use my iPod and digital camera with no problems or headaches, and it is so pretty sitting out.

My brother is studying abroad for 5 months in Vienna (he’s on the airplane right now!) we’ve set up Skype so that we can keep in touch without the huge international phone bills. The iSight gets fairly warm even when I’m not using it so at first I would unplug it when not in use. Pluging it in to use Skype launches iChat, which knocks me off of Fire (instant messenger) which then launches a few warning dialogues (fun, huh?). I’ve been keeping the iSight pluged in 24/7 for the past while and I’ve been having much less problems except that last night on Skype it did die on me when my Phone Conference ended. I know it died because in System Prefs -> Sound there is a slider that registers the volume coming in from the mic. When it dies that slider is stuck at 0%.

Welcome to the fold brother! Although I will most likely always have some (ok, many) linux servers at my home and maybe, just maybe a Windows box (one at most), my personal desktops will always be Apple as well.

Also, I didn’t know you had an iSight. I’ve never had that mic cut out on me, but I don’t use it for a lot of chatting online.
