Gone all Techno

As you can see I am now back online and back on BE for a short time (god how I have missed you)

On Saturday we purchased a webcam and a microphone for Neil's parents.  I couldn't wait to get back to their house to try it out, having not used one myself. 

We had one of Neil's parents friends son (did you get all that) come and look at my compter as there was something wrong with Outlook.  The inlaws now have their own e-mail address.

I have also downloaded Skype onto the computer and created both accounts so they are up and running.  I was dying to try it out but one of Neil's relatives was away.  I made the test call to the Skype computer lady, though.

Later on in the day we tried it out with one of our friends in Calgary which really was what I wanted to do.  At least we know it is working across the pond.  However they were having problems with their microphone at their end but they could see and hear us.  Hopefully they don't mind trying again sometime before we go.

Isn't technology great, one click of a green button and you can talk to anyone in the world for FREE over the webcam. (I'm running the risk of sounding very old now) 

Just type Skype in your search engine and I'm sure it will pop up, their are millions of users out there.

Well gotta go and sort out yet another long list of things to do, Bye. x x x
