Now On Skype

My webcam is a pretty good one and it only cost 30 dollars. Of course, since I don't have a headset I just use my camera as a mic and use some headphones so people don't have an echo.

Yes, things have changed a lot in 10 years. you couldn't get even a halfway decent quality picture from a webcam unless you paid at least $100 back then. Of course, a CD burner was over $100 too. I guess it's because no computers shipped with that stuff back then. Once they start shipping with this stuff standard, the price to buy the items drops like a rock.

A DVD rom was $80 and I paid it. CD burner $120. Webcam (crappy by todays standards) $100 on sale. DVD burner $400.

Oh, and what I mean by a headset is a mic and an earpiece. You don't get an echo. You leave your speakers off. Having them on is what causes the echo.

I know what a headset is if you were aiming that towards me. I don't have one simply because I'd rather have the 40-50 dollars cost that one is to go towards snake food or something else to enhance their lives a bit.

Dollar store headphones and speakers off is all that is needed to eliminate the echo is all I'm saying. A headset isn't necessary since your webcam has a mic. You just need a way to hear without the sound feeding back into the mic.

I gave this thread a bump. Skype is a great way for forum members to contact(text,voice or video chat) each other and it's completely free.
All you need for the most basic communication is a keyboard. I talk and text members all over the world.
If you don't have free long distance on your home or cell phone this is the way to go.
You will need the following:
* Internet Connection any broadband: cable, DSL, etc.
It's an easy download and even easier installation.
