Sinc, I just finished lunch. My wife and I used to "do lunch" when she was still working in Calgary. At 1PM she would email me here in St.John's (when it was 430PM here) and for 1/2 hour, chat back and forth on email. Of course, that was back 11 years ago, and email was a big thing back then. Now, we would use something like Skype.

I have tried Skype for the Mac but with no success. I can hear someone on a PC but they cannot hear me. I use only the internal mic on the eMac, but they tell me i should have a headset for this to work. Is that how you use it?
Sinc, I use my son's Dell, and it is amazing the clarity (which a headset) of the sound. It is as if Bob, my friend in London, ON, is in the room with me.

I'm a Skype user too. On an iMac G5 one needs an iMic (Griffin technology) or a pre-amp in order to be able to have your voice transmit.
Can't beat the price to use Skype.

Time to say good night to one and all. I guess I am on to do brunch tomorrow. Getting up at dawn with the doxies makes it easy to be the first one in each morning. Paix, mes amis.

Morning, one and all. I hope all is well. I'm sitting in the light of our Christmas tree, which helps the early hour be that much more tolerable

Sinc, it was raining here about 10 last night - very strange for this time of year, but then we did have that very definate chinook arch in the morning.
Here's what I'm listening to this morning. You can make your own stations too. When it asks you to sign up for an account, you need a zip code - we all know one of those don't we
