Can somebody tell me the best way for a PC user and Mac user to web cam each other?
My daughter has a Mac and my mom has a PC - is there any way for them to connect? I know that there is Skype but that worries me because anonymous people can request chats, I don't feel it is safe enough.

Thoughts?

1. Skype has a privacy option.
You can set it to where only people on your list can contact you. It's worked fine for us.

3. iChat on Mac and AIM on PC
iChat uses AOL screen names. It works decently well. Haven't tried Skype's video chat.

4. strangers can message you on any messaging service
unless you turn that option off.

Skype is the best option.
