[TheForge] ot an inexpensive way to telephone, skype

[Jerry Frost]

It was a good chat even if it was pretty short. You get to know people so 
much better when you can hear the tone and inflection of their voice.

There is no accent in E-mail emoticons don't count. The first time Bill 
Roberts left me a message I was surprised at his southern accent, silly of 
me I know but I was. Now when I read a post from Bill I can imagine it in 
his voice and accent. Much better.

Maybe you guys in the lower 48 don't notice it as much as we who're more 
isolated. I've been to exactly one hammerin and just three get togethers of 
any kind. Anyway, I either have to ply the craft alone or train up my help 
and even just hearing a voice makes an impression.

Terry called a couple times yesterday too but I was away from the comp so I 
missed him. Sorry Terry. Gizmo is a beta and has a couple little glitches 
though they're updating all the time. One of them is the status alert 
setting, it keeps changing on it's own. Basically whatever my status says I 
may or may not be there so give it a try anyway.

Another little tip is use headphones. External speakers are fine on your end 
but the person you're talking to hears themselves echo in the background and 
it's distracting.

Talk to ya later.
