OT-Does anyone Skype?

[luvnit]

Does anyone here skype? I'd love to skype with anyone who wants to. You just have to tolerate my kids jumping around in the background.

Remember... Skyping is free!

Occasionally, but just voice and text since I don't have a webcam. Never guess what my username is. LOL!

[luvnit]

That's funny. You are so transparent Saint Bernard.

[labradors]

LOL! Thanks, Amanda.

I do occasionally. I know you don't know me very well, but I would like to become more well known on this board. You can PM me for my info if you want it!

[luvnit]

Heidi!

I would love to be skyped by you!! My skype name is
laura . behrendt (no spaces though). I did that to protect myself. Skype me anytime!

I tried it once with Laura, but either her connection or mine, or both, made it so choppy it was best to just talk to her on the phone and send pictures

Pictures take more bandwidth so, depending upon your connection, using the webcam could chop up the audio, but using audio without the camera will work with lower speeds than needed by the video.

Since I use Vonage, all of my phone calls to or from the States are over the Internet, so I've experienced what a difference more bandwidth makes, as our cable company has gone from something that was the bare minimum for Vonage to work to something where I can actually watch YouTube videos now. It's still not the speed of the U.S. cable companies, but MUCH better than before.

Even so, for skype, I still just stay with voice, since I tend to use it only when the conversation has been planned ahead of time.

don't know what you all are talking about, so I'll go back to bed...

Cool, Laura, I will. Thanks.
