can I only use the msn messenger especially made for the mac on here? I have the new Imac G5 with a built in camera, is there any way I can use the camera as a web cam on msn messenger?

I am not sure but I think that you can't run MSN Messenger on a mac since this is a program by Microsoft and Bill Gates can get a little cranky when it comes to things like this.

Ok I just got my download notifications from microsoft and yes there is a version of messenger for the MAC. Just go to www.microsoft.com go to the download section, type in Messenger and just browse around it should be there.

Here is the link for Mac
