    I will be getting a webcam tomarrow and I was wondering what the best IM program would be to use for best quality? I am using this to see my girl friend while im at college. So needless to say I want the video quality to be the best and the largest screen possible.

    Right now I was leaning tward MSN since aim has a very small screen. If it helps we both got the Logitech 4000 quickcam delux. Thanks alot on all your input!

    Either go with MSN (best choice) or yahoo. Yahoo is pretty good, but its not user friendly sometimes.

    LOL, kind of sad that I know about this subject.

    I've used video over MSNIM too and enjoy it. Of course most of the quality has to do with the cam and internet connection though.
