Indian dreams

For those of you who know Dave (my brother), you'll be interested to know that he and my sister-in-law Angela moved, somewhat suddenly to Mumbai, India last week for a new job. Mumbai used to be Bombay, just like Istanbul was once Constantinople (Don't forget that every gal in Constantinople lives in Istanbul, not Constantinople. So if you've a date in Constantinople, she'll be waiting in Istanbul).

We are excited and trying to figure out how to visit. For the time being, we are just trying to figure out Skype. Has anyone used it?

Had a friend who used Skype when he was in Slovakia. It works wonderfully well and cost about a penny a minute, iirc.

He had a headset for his laptop, which made the mic/speaker issue easier. Basically you can go computer to computer for "free," but calling "real" phones costs. You just update your account using a credit card and replenish when needed.

Well worth exploring. I'm not sure how it works going from US to foreign country, but from Europe to US it was great. I used it on his machine. He's not a techie and had no issues.
