Skype


Even though things often don't work for me - as explained by my pal, Firle, I downloaded, and installed Skype - the web phone gizmo thing. Firstly, I downloaded it to my Linux system, only to find that the microphone of the dell laptop linux is on, is not being recognized by Skype, so I cannot use it on that computer. grrrrr.. (see, things often don't work for me.) But. . .

We have a number of computers available - one house one, that needs a microphone plugged in, my Dell laptop, that isn't microphone workable, and The Frog's Acer laptop that is way better than my Dell in every way, despite costing one tenth the price. I downloaded Skype onto that (this) laptop, and made a call - wonderful upon wonder, it worked, and we are now Skyped. Ain't that cool,, huh, huh.

Anyone else here Skyped yet?

Re: Skype


Yes, I like Skype immensely, and I've already used it to chat with friends in the US and in Italy.

Re: Skype


I don't have it...sounds interesting though. I doubt it would work well with dial-up.

Re: Skype


A coworker's wife recently got a short term job in Maryland and he is spending half his time there with her and half his time here until she moves back. We have weekly meetings though...but with skype we can have a video call with him and it's like he's sitting right there in the conference room but just on a laptop screen!

I also use it to video call with my brother in LA so he can show me all the cool projects he's working on.
