Skype FREE Video Calling
I finally tried it.....Skype Free Video Calling.....
It works great....I love it!
I can't believe that Marcia and I talked for THREE hours straight. Can you believe it? But she is a former classmate of mine and we had a lot to talk (and giggle) about. We also had Ron in on a little bit of it and she could see us both with her web cam.
Marcia just got on Skype for the first time and was unfamiliar with everything, but she was really surprised at just how EASY it was to set up and use. At about the two hour mark we were just about ready to hang up when we tried conference calling with my nephew. He didn't have a microphone so we used the Chat line in conjunction with the video calling.
We also started sending pictures back and forth to each other and she was surprised at how easy and FAST it sent the pictures. It is much faster and easier than email. Because our class reunion is coming up this summer, I have asked some other classmates to try it. I hope that they do because we will have a lot of fun talking and sending old pictures back and forth to each other.
Don't you just LOVE all this new technology????

George,
I have written you an email about Skype, but the minimal thing you would need would be a microphone. Your computer speakers work to hear the incoming voices. However, the Skype website www.skype.com sells Web-cams with microphone attached. That way, the caller can see you and if they also have a web cam, you can see them. Yahoo sells a headset with microphone, but it doesn't include a Web cam which makes it fun! Let me know when you download Skype and we can talk!
