For those of you out there with the hardware and software, why aren't you using it? I make myself available for those kinds interactions all the time and I've been promoting this idea for over a year now and it seems only a handful of people have really taken advantage of the idea. If you're interested, shoot me an email and exchange phone numbers and I can tell you what setup you need. Then we set up times that are good for both parties and VOILA, instant idea exchange in living color. Besides that, it's a great way to get to know people as well, FACE TO FACE, so you can see the expressions and body language. If the technology is there, I'm damn sure gonna take advantage of it, how bout you?

Have a great Kenpo day

yahoo messenger voice chats are great fun, and they do support web cams.

I heard AIM has a voice chat option also, but I don't know if it's any good, or if it supports web cams. Does anyone know?

We will need Netmeeting as well, i haven't been able to find a free copy to pirate off of the net (oops did i say that)...but maybe brian can get a hold of one for us, he has friends in low places. :)
I don't think AIM has any video anything, but i haven't dug completely into it. I think Yahoo is better for that sort of thing.

I agree with Clyde,

It's a good technology to get to see and speak to people without the cost of LD. I've had a chance to "see and talk to Clyde" and it was cool. I'm sure it would be better now that I have DSL (and some headphones, thanks for the tip Clyde). I've talked to Mr. C more than a few times online (AIM Messenger), but he'll just pick up the phone and call (he's like that), Also used AIM Messenger to talk to Billy Lear and used Yahoo message board to talk to KaliCombat (Gary C.).

It's a good tool to build some relationships. The only thing I woud say is that the flow of a net conversation is much like a conference call. You have to wait for one to stop speaking before you speak. This can throw off your speaking flow because your not used to it and it's not natural. Also have an agenda...what do you want to talk about. That way you're not just setting there "looking at each other".

The final thing I found funny/interesting: Since I had a lower connection than most, almost all of my converstions would switch between talking and typing...depending on how the connection was acting at the time.

Program files? Could you be more specific? Do you mean programs on the start menu? Or is it something in the Control Panel?
