As a matter of fact, (shame on me...I have 3/4s of a Network admin AAS) Too complicated that Cisco Sytems bunko...BUT yes, I just recently familiarized myself with Skype. I am still ironing out the wrinkles...in my brain..lol but FREE is the majic word;)

lol I'm ironing...in fact I am steaming like an iron! lol By that I mean steam is coming out of my ears trying to fully understand this Anatomy and Physiol. stuff. I am too old for this, and too young to quit..and too tired to care...but pressed to finish so much by midnight tomorrow. Then is when I turn in to a pumpkin or lose my slipper or slip and fall...something of the sort..lol. OHH haaaaa....no camera.... I have never believed in cameras..LOL My mom said i used to scream and run when I saw a camera and nothings changed in all these years ha ha ha;)
I will keep ya posted. Have a great Sunay and say a prayer for my sanity sake..lol. These bodies of ours are quite intricate, but really when I get it...finally....I am facinated. I think TOO much is really my problem. I just need to learn it and quit trying to figure it out.:))

You did? What a compliment.
I'm located in Norway, Kristiansand.
I can "hear" Stan Getz playing, so sorry to hear that this project was too late for the two of them, but the idea is great so I'm glad you didn't just put it away!!!!!
