If the icon is faded, that means the person is already using that service (audio or video chat) with another person. You cannot open multiple audio/video connections; so, that's probably why it didn't work.
She wasn't, though- maybe mixed software signals on that. I thought it was perhaps because we were both on dialup. Anyway, it's an improvement over nothing at all; suggests that some progress is being made.
Some of my cow-orkers (moo!) have upgraded to the new AIM beta, and, though we have not yet had a chance to test it, iChat does now recognize them as being potentially capable of voice or video chat. This could become VERY handy for me, since I have relativly few friends who are Mac users but many who are AIM users.
Yeah- one of my friends that is AIM on the PC shows up with the little telephone icon next to their name on iChat, but its like "greyed" out and not selectable...
Maybe there is something pending with AOL and Apple that is to be announced at MWSF and once this version of AIM goes gold for windows...
