A new blog post on pipetogrep.org details an effort to resurrect iChat, Apple's discontinued audio and video conferencing application. The write-up, shared on Hacker News, describes bringing the classic Mac messaging and video chat software back to life.

Why now: Nostalgia for discontinued Apple software and interest in retro-computing projects continue to draw attention in tech communities.
