I have a skype account now. My ID is "Redbeard76". Apparently, skype works much like any other instant messenger service but takes it a couple steps further. At minimum, you can have a text-based conversation. If you're computer is equipped with a microphone/speakers, you can have a FREE phone conversation as long as both users have a skype account and are using their computers for the conversation. For a skype user to call a land line phone or mobile phone, there's a fee. Not sure the amount yet. Then, the best part, is if you have a web cam, video conferencing is available and FREE. Some of this sounds too good to be true so we'll have to test this lunch to see if it's really FREE.
The skype download/registration was painless and took 6 minutes and 28 seconds. That includes some time for testing your computers speaker/microphone setup. Bottomline, it was a cinch.
So, we are currently taking appointments for video conferences. The times that work best for us are 2am to 9am EST. That way we can see you with your bed head. Nice.
Actually, if you want to chat with Aimee/Anna/Elijah, any time during your evening (our morning) should be fine. If you want to talk to me, first have your head checked, then plan on meeting in your morning (6am to 9am). Otherwise, the weekends are pretty open.
We are looking forward to giving this a shot in the near future.
We'll get some apartment pics/video posted this weekend. Tune back in soon.
