 I like the idea of a Skype net. I have only had broadband for about 2
years but the mic and webcam have been stuck there a long time. Before
that, programmes like Skype could be a bit dear on dial up!

A problem with the webcam. I have 'economy' bulbs all round and the webcam
doesnt like them so I'll see if I can find some sorce of bright, white
light (and somewhere to plug it in) then I can do a clear videao call.

CUL, Pete and all; think I'll go for another egg butty :-)
