I have not tried Google Chat. I'm not a real personal chat fan. Besides, everytime I have logged into gmail, the chat has always been having technical difficulties and I should try again later. That said, I can't imagine that 2 different implementations of the same technology would be very much different from each other. And that goes for both Chat and Remote Access. I *am* a tech support chat fan. It is always FAR superior to voice calls. The wait is almost never more than ten minutes. And you can always check email or play FreeCell while you wait. Plus, even though the English and the grammar might be a bit off, you can still understand it without having to cut through a heavy Asian accent or having them repeat themselves fourteen times. On the phone, 3 seconds after you put the phone down to go to the bathroom, the tech picks up. In chat there is always a lag time while a response is being typed so you have time for a quick relief without having to call back and go through the menus and wait on hold again.
