==If you have a chat account==
==Please Pick Your Computer==
If you have "dotmac" or "mobileme" or have signed up for "AOL Instant Messaging" then you're already all set!  Just add me as a buddy:
I am on a [[IChat/Mac|Macintosh]]<br>
# click the "add buddy" button at the bottom, looks like a plus sign "+"
I am on [[IChat/Windows|Windows]]<br>
# Account name: davecotter
# account type: mac.com
# Add to group: whatever you want
# First name / last name: whatever you want<br>http://karaoke.kjams.com/resources/ichat_dotmac.png
 
==If you do NOT have a chat account==
If you don't have the above, you can temporarily use my own iChat server.  Only use it to talk to me, and log out when we're done, so someone else can use the line.
# run iChat in your Applications folder or in the Dock
# It may ask you for settings automatically (first time run).  If it's not first time do these steps:
## Go to iChat->Preferences (in the menu bar)
## Select the "Accounts" tab
## Press the "+" button in the lower left
# enter this info:
## Account Type: Jabber
## Account: kjams@kjams.com
## Password: kJams
## click the little triangle next to "server settings"
## in the server, type "ichat.kjams.com"
## check the box "Use SSL", Looks something like this:<br>http://karaoke.kjams.com/resources/ichat_setup.png
## click Done
## It will ask you about a certificate, it's asking if you believe you are really connected to '''my''' kJams iChat server and not to some phisher or to other fraudulent scheme. Since they have no record of my certificate, they ask you to question it's authenticity.<br>http://karaoke.kjams.com/resources/ichat_cert.png
## Presuming you believe this is actually me, click the "Show Certificate" button
## Check the box that says '''Always trust "Default" when connecting to "ichat.kjams.com"'''<br>http://karaoke.kjams.com/resources/ichat_accept_cert.png
## then click "Continue"
That should be it, it should automatically connect to my server.  YAY!
