I learnt how to hop down to Kmart and buy a Logitech web cam. Come back home and load the software. Figure out it didn't work and then download new Logitech drivers off the web. Then download some Microsoft files like 5.6 or something like that the Logitech help site suggested. Then call Todd and get some tech support on 32 bit vs 64 bit questions. ( I was happy he didn't tell me to "RTFM" like he usually does...................just kidding......he always helps out.)
Looked up boan and baybo's skype name/number on the skype index and called them big as life. They answered and I saw them and they saw me....and we talked about an hour. I thought they were going to go get Lucky and Aug , but it didn't happen. Then I found about 5 more people on the directory. Polvo and Abbzug were not at home or chose not to answer.........my brother in Florida and brother-in-law in California were listed too............this could be fun........my other daughter is hooking up now too.

Skype is great... I can see the relatives, talk to them, etc., but I don't have to smell them. Then if I want, mid-sentence, with a single click, I can just end the call and blame it on a storm, bad internet connection, or something else.
To me it's the best way to interact with family.
On that note - sorry I missed your call on skype last night Vic... we were having really bad weather.
Your mic was on when I called your house...I heard you hollering "don't answer that ...don't answer that!!!" and I watch the weather channel...the bad stuff didn't get there till today............
oh
downside...woke up this morning, took a shower, threw on robe, stumbled into the office to SEE ribhard talking to his brother Rocky on the screen - Rocky's face big as life - not something one should see before the first cup of coffee....
I called polvo and kim today on the web cam.....got kim and the kids but I had no sound....we hand signaled each other....she either said hey how you doin you look great on the monitor...or hey what the hell happened to you and kiss my butt....hard to tell with no sound.
