Beyond Methody #10

So I've skype before at my home computer but once again, since i don't have administrative priveleges with our network, I couldn't get all of the applications to work right. I think it's frankly really cool how something I watched in Back to the Future part 1 so far back in the 1980's is now for real for real. This past May my sister married a Russian guy whose parents weren't able to make the trip to Florida. So the groom and his friends Skyped the whole thing for them. Amazing! We use skype some here at the library for conference calls and webinars and for an "author visit" during our Texas City Reads program next month. We will definitely be using it more and more in the future and I'm looking forward to it.
