Steve and others,

Apparently my skype was no longer auto updating but I sure like the look and 
feel and features of this newer skype.  One thing I failed to mention when 
telling everyone about my camera experience with my nephew overseas is about 
the sound quality.  My nephew has always been a little scratchy sounding and 
the lag time has been uncomfortable to use.  Last night, using my iPhone, 
the quality of the audio was better than cell phone to cell phone and that 
was with the cameras running.  I've also always liked the echo feature to 
test your microphone when using skype.  My little 20 dollar radio shack 
desktop microphone I've had for years and years was dead when I tested it. 
I put in a couple of new tripple A batteries, ran the audio check echo on 
skype and it worked fine.  Then our dogs started barking and when the test 
cut off and replayed itself, the dogs heard themselves barking and cranked 
up even louder; thinking we had new dogs in the house.  I've heard a lot of 
ham rag chew round tables with skype video chat groups going as they talk on 
the air so they can see each other, too.  I knew a bunch of blind hams would 
appreciate that bit of information and run right out to get a camera.

Phil.
