Theos-Talk Archives (July 2006 Message tt00273)

Hi Truth, Bill, Perry, and all other Mac OSX, Linux and Windows users 

Using my Safari Browser and Mac OS X 10.4.7 -- I went to the Skype web site 
during the last Paltalk conference, downloaded their application form, signed 
up okay and got in on the tail end of the Paltalk with Jerry Schueler.   It 
worked fine and I heard the last part of the questions and answers.   I even was 
able to get an open mike, but didn't have a chance to use it, since by the 
time I figured out how to do it, everyone had signed out. :-)   Seems to be an 
excellent service with many advantages, including free voice and video 
conversations between individuals and groups no matter where situated.   Beats long 
distance telephone calling.   
Leon
