Lol - Cindy it's like this - I can see and hear HIM but they can't see me cause my other son has my camera - mic too so we basically do it using both

Skype is great! With my son being in the Marine Corp, he "relocates" often. It's hard for me not to so see my grandkids grow up which as we know, happens to quickly. I can turn on my laptop, the kids do the same and we can actually "see" each other. Of course, they always want to know what Cissy is doing so I turn the laptop so they can see her laying on the her "throne" (back of the couch). They whisle and get her to come to the screen and she gives them kisses! And yes, I have to clean the screen when they are finished "getting kisses". We ablsolutely love it! If you have someone you don't get to see "physically", it's the next best thing.

I haven't tried Skype yet myself, but I do know that you can use the "video" on MSN and can see and talk to each other. All new laptops have built-in cameras and mics, but you easily add a web camera and mic to an older laptop.
My daughter is using Skype lately.
I'll have to check it out and see for myself if it's better/easier than MSN. lol

It's a very simple program to use. So cool too - you should check it out
