From what I have seen on paoples comuters who have it and understand how to use it, the picture is not all that stable and the voices lag.
I haven't got the patience or money to waste.

I saw the movie 2001: a space odyssey.
I put tape on my webcam.
It was creeping me out.

I only ever use Skype with people I know well, it kinda feels like you are inviting someone into your lounge room ..... or bedroom teddybear

Hi Noeleena - you know how it is in Qld - 'beautiful one day, perfect the next?' banana

It's 'winter' at the moment, which means have to drag out something to wear with long sleeves for a few nights.

For me the heat of the middle of summer is too much to work in and I enjoy this time of year.

Never been to NZ - it is on my bucket list along with Tasmania.

Just need to win lotto or retire. thumbs up

Hi Newlife,

Well i was over in Tasmania for 6 weeks and now back by 3, and we had some lovely days and frosts and today snow down south Dunedin and a few flake,s here , wet and windy and cold,

allso depends on your interests for myself i joined the Glenorchy and Clarance city Brass Bands and practice Monday and Thursday nights plus concerts we had one while there and i missed the 2 nd one 2 weeks after i came home there were good ,

the cost to go over was 834 $ to Melbourne then Tas and back again , with 2000 spending money though i helped pay things for my friend ,

i think you would enjoy it over here , if you have friends to stay with and you just help with food and travel then youd be able to get around more and do things,

any ways gives you some idear,

I was completely freaked by it at first, hated the way I looked on webcam. First two months I draped it with pink gauze purple heart

la vie en rose

But I'm involved with a guy in another country and we spend hours on skype. I got used to it pretty quickly.

See, I am willing to Skype, but sadly I have not found a nice Scottish Gentleman who wishes to Skype with me yet...... blues

good point! I guess all those gorgeous 'girls' from Nigeria or Russia suddenly become very shy when you ask them to 'Skype'??

Skype don't lie - or does it?
