Okay, I DL'ed it, and the sound quality is 1000% better than TS. Now, the question is, how many people can chat on it at once? Be one of the first to find out! www.skype.com

Contact me on AIM to get my username...or chat amongst yourselves...whatever.

Come on, my voice quality isn't that bad.

Is anyone doing this? IM me for my ID... Though it may not be hard to just FIND.

My AIM is steenmeisje! But I won't be on again until 7:30...

I thought that the version which will allow more than two people to talk wasn't out yet... Did we figure out a way to do that?

Cause that would rock.
 
Posted by Boon (Member # 4646) on :
 
It's not, but should be included in the next upgrade. In the meantime, individual phone calls are possible...

If you'd like to call me, for any reason (even just to see if it works!), just send me an e-mail and I'll send you my username. I usually check my e-mail once a day, late in the evening.

*BUMP*

Skype is now available for OS X in addition to supporting 4-way voice conferencing.

Bon, I tried to email you but it is blocked by this site for some reason.

Mine isn't, and my Skype name is KweaSr. [Big Grin]

Ha. I lost Skype when my computer crashed. I wonder if I still have an ID.
 
Posted by Jonathan Howard (Member # 6934) on :
 
You do.

Although I registered again after reformatting.
 
Posted by Troubadour (Member # 83) on :
 
OK - just got my cheap-o mic & headset organised...

Who out there is Skyping it tonight?

My username's TooTrueTroubs.

Come on! Get online!

No. I'm thirsty and grumpy as it is. [Mad]
 
Posted by Troubadour (Member # 83) on :
 
Well... have a drink... then get on Skype... [Wink]
 
Posted by mackillian (Member # 586) on :
 
I can't. I have a CT scan in an hour. Hence not being allowed to eat or drink. And being up way too early. [Mad]
 
Posted by Troubadour (Member # 83) on :
 
Ah.... good luck with that then, and I wish you a hearty chow-down once the scan is over.

[Mad] I woke up Nathan when I went to get clothes for my shower. I went in my closet to get a tshirt.

HE STOLE MY SHOWER! [Mad]

[Evil Laugh] that's what being part of a couple is all about....

Heh... I've been using skype for about a year now. It's awesome. Especially as I always have friends on the other side of the Atlantic ocean. [Smile]
 
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
 
I have been using Skype for about a year now as well, I think....my parents tried to use it to stay in touch while seperates, from RI to AZ< but unless I was the one who began the chat it it was too choppy.

My mom had dial up in AZ< my dad had cable, and I was right in the middle with DSL... [Big Grin]
 
Posted by Troubadour (Member # 83) on :
 
Raia - what's your Skype username?
 
Posted by Little_Doctor (Member # 6635) on :
 
Ah..Skype is old news. I used it to talk to people that I played counter-strike with a while back.

Username: Low_Rider12

i've had skype for a while, but have yet to ever use it [Dont Know]
 
Posted by Kwea (Member # 2199) on :
 
I really like it, although it can be spotty at times. It is how my parents and I are going to stay in touch from across the country without spending money on phones or phone bills. [Big Grin]

Sorry, Troub: I'm NiniGolightly.
 
Posted by Troubadour (Member # 83) on :
 
I tried to place a call to Kwea on Sunday but my darn microphone didn't work.

Let this be a lesson to you all - don't by headsets and mics from fleamarkets.

Hehe. Best Buy. [Razz]
