Skype works well, Krink, don't know what you've been looking at. Used it often when number 3 Valley child was off in South America. Use it still, occasionally.

Okay, so what exactly is "Skype"? I've heard that it is a way ta connect your computer ta make, or receive long-distance phone calls. I thought that was all negated when everybody started using cell phones, instead of regular phones...like my trusty old rotary dial phone.
So now ya say ya can call South America via Skype. I thought ya could always call South America...if ya had a phone, and they (SA) had a phone...
I guess Skype ain't really 'free' per se. Nope! Like anything else, using a telephone line, or airwaves with a cell phone, somebody's gotta make a few bucks.
Waaay back...when the usuals were still members of a sort at TRF, I had a connection, and a webcam thingie... The only member who saw me was Briz! And he swore off the live camera thing after that. Yep. Briz just happened ta view me in my striped PJs, or old 'housecoat' early one morn'!
His screen did a meltdown right then, and his webcam ceased working. I suppose my webcam could be hooked up again...
And maybe Skype tu.

Never thought I'd see the day when Snippy would promote anything that wasn't Apple.

Au contraire mon am...Cy. Remember that Snippy is first, and foremost a money grubber! There's always that ulterior motive that drives his altruistic side. Yep! He'll help ya out any time there's a buck ta be made...by him! A profiteer, that's Snippy!
He's in for a cut every time one of them damn senior trype computer's are sold ta some unsuspecting old gal out in rural Nebraska, or Iowa! But I still manage with my old Dell, and my old outdated jitterbug cell phone thing!
My gut tells me that Snippy wants my job. Yep!

Why that greedy basturd! Let's just BAND him! That'll do it!
"Criminalises" is a mouth full. I have yet to see "Skype"
transmission that dint look like a transmission from
another planet. Guess the big picture here is a govt
decides one day that something that was ok is now
not ok. It can happen at the worst time.
