    Ive been using this for a few days and I'm wondering if you can add multiple accounts to Ichat? It only seems to allow 1 AIM account?

    you may want to try adium. It doesn't do video chat, but it does everything else.

    Aye, I recommended Adium to my friend who has a mac after hearing about the good news about it from this forum, and he tried it for one day, and he totally loved it. I can't wait to get a mac to try out Adium too!

    You can add other accounts.
    Go to iChat > Prfrences > Accounts > Then you'll see a small + button on the bottom left

    i dont think you can be logged into multiple accounts at the same time though. that will require adium. (its ok, you can make adium look really cool)

    Adium is a great program. I wish the libpurple devs would implement better file transfer support and give us video chat. I shouldn't complain though, I know programming can be a pain in the ass.
