Art,
I've been using Skype for years. I have friends in Hawaii and New Zealand  
that I talk to infrequently. It's nice to have the video. High speed vs dial up  
has really improved the quality.

Ron,

Thanks for the input.  My DIL helped me set Skype up  last night on ny Aspire 
One (with built in camera, and it is excellent quality  - free to boot.  Does 
anyone else use Sype or have an interest in doing  so.  I will share my new 
knowledge with any that want to use.  I now  pipe TV thru the USB 2.0 port on 
my Aspire and have an excellent additional  option for the boat!

Have you ever put together a call with more than  one other computer?  BTW, 
what is your Skype name.

A very Merry  Christmas to you and yours, and to the entire Rhoadie family.  
We look  forward to seeing many of you, Skype or not.
