I bought an iSight for my iBook. Can I download Photo Booth to use with it? As far as I'm concerned, Apple should have bundled the software with new iSights.

It is out there if you search for it. It won't work on my mini. I can take 1 picture then it freezes everytime. Even after a fresh install I get the same problem.

easy to find ... works really well with an iBook [a g4 anyway]. I agree should be bundled or a free download - after all it's completely useless, but super super fun
