I Like Skype

No computer or electronic item is ever close to "user friendly" when it comes to my association with it. It may be that I am just not "user friendly"...that is probably more like it. My father is a computer engineer and my mother is very computer savvy. I have no idea where I went wrong. I can read well, speak well, write well, but when I have to set-up new things on the computer, I am lost beyond all comparison. My six year old son can navigate the computer better than I can. THAT'S IT! It SKIPS a generation. That has to be the reason....

My father and older sister live in Arizona. Needless to say, my family and I don't get to visit often. So, my father suggested I download Skype in order to get more share-time in with the kids and them. So I did it before Christmas. Now, I had not yet figured it out until today. (I know, pathetic.) Mostly because of the mental block I have going on. I think that I have failed so often with the computer stuff that I have seeded the doubt in my mind. Anyway, it turns out that Skype is actually pretty easy to use! My kids had a blast actually seeing Grandpa on the computer. I stole the xbox 360's webcam...that was easy, it only has a USB :) They sure loved it.

Just wanted to share that Autumn successfully used a new thingy-ma-jigg on the computer! Yeah!
