Tell me about Skype...

We set Skype up so my parents could see their granddaughter. It works great! We bought a logitech camera for about $40 and got one for my parents. I recently got a new laptop with a built in camera and it's really convenient. The best thing I figured out was to put the laptop on a lazy susan on the coffee table. It makes it a lot easier to keep my 1 year old on camera. It's gotten to where any time I have the computer out, she won't keep away because she thinks she gets to see her Oma and Opa.

Other than buying a camera, it's free! How can you beat that.

The built in mic works fine, and my Dad is working on trying to record the sessions from their end.
