10.5: Google Talk, iChat, and non-admin accounts
Authored by: UberFu on Wed, Dec 5 2007 at 6:58AM PST

I don't know about you all - but I just looked up one of the many online "step-by-steps" to setting up a Google Chat Account via Apple Chat_

In Leopard -
What I found was the instructions for pre-Leopard setups_ As I was going thru the steps I got to the one where I select the "jabber account option" and surprise at he very bottom of that pop-up list was an option for a Google Talk Account_

So all I did was select it - enter my user ID [gmail account] and Password and it logged me on - no problem_

So yeah - I have to concur w/ Nipomeroy - this is bullsh!t_
