Skype

Guys,

can someone just give me a quick heads up on skype.
If my kids have a laptop each and i want to have a video conference, then i take it that each computer or person would need their own account and skype account.

is that right?

Imagine Skype being similar to MSN (it is, pretty much). Both computers have Skype installed, both have their own Skype accounts. They can then talk to each other

When i was on holiday there were quite a few parents who would have a video call to their kids at home (not that we leave our kids at home!!!!),

anyway, i presume they were using skype.. is it easy to have a video chat?

Skype is ace - works over WiFi from iphone for chat and voice calls too - handy if you want to make free/cheap calls when stuck in airport lounge abroad

Same with MSN though - works just as well IMO.

But I would say that
