I thought Messages + FaceTime + Contacts took over hose functions. I don't even have anything labeled "iChat" on my
Mavericks install. There's a "video" icon on the Message(s) window that brings up your (FaceTime) camera.

FaceTime makes it possible to talk, smile, and laugh with anyone on iPad 2 or later, iPhone 4 or later, iPod touch, or a Mac. All you need is an Apple ID and an email address.
You would probably be getting some kind of request right now since I just clicked your 'video' button in my Contacts. The video is now telling me you are "not available for FaceTime". Nice picture of me, however...
Of course, this assumes I'm calling the correct "Bob". You're the one with the yacht, right?
More likely, you just have me 'Blocked'!
