Skype
« on: January 07, 2013, 12:37:00 PM »
I hope this is the place to post this, if not can someone move it?  Thanks!
Anyway, does anyone use Skype?  Is it free like Yahoo messenger?  My friend that lives in Australia has got Parkensons and it had left him unable to type on the computer, so he and his son has come up with Skype and I just wanted to learn a little bit about it and don't know where to start.  Thanks for any info you can give!

Simple.  Both get web cam.  Download Skype from their website it is free.  Set up an account. Search for each other and add one another.  Connect and talk.  It is all quite intuitive.  We use it all the time to speak to friends in the Czech Republic.

Confused face... What do you mean exactly, where is the print smaller? in your web browser, or your entire pc?

Also, I hope you enjoy Skype, I use it from time to time to talk with a friend of mine in Tasmania!

Something took over my homepage and I had to call Frontier to straighhten it out.  Itdid screw up the print.  It is not just this site it is all the sites that I go to.  I installed Skype though so He and I could talk and he has not been on yet.

You'll have to remember time differences, at the time of seeing this message and replying it is 12:01 PM forum server time, but it's 5:02 AM Australian Eastern Daylight Savings Time.

I use Skype a lot too, but I can't use the webcam function. It unnerves me that I can be seen, so I'm a voice-only kind of guy. I have it on my computer and phone and ipad, so I use it quite a lot.

Exactly. And as I'm usually wearing nothing more than my birthday suit at home, I don't want to give anyone a heart attack.

I'm using it for a (excessively boring) conference call as we speak (er, type).
