Why not use Skype to do training on Skype? No, just kidding. Using the real-eyes chat room would be fine, but now, version 4 of the Talking Communities client has been discontinued, so, there's a slightly different protocol. The conference has to be started manually at a given time, I wish it were not that way, but that is how it is set up. At any rate, the new version of the TC client is very slick, and works quite like the prior one. So, a conference about skype is a fine idea. We should probably have a test run of the chat room so that anyone who has not downloaded and installed the new TC program can do so. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jose" <crunch1@xxxxxxxxx> To: <real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, May 23, 2007 4:39 AM Subject: [real-eyes] Re: Skype hay Jim or anyone who is a skipe user, would anyone want to do a training on skipe?

You can purchase unlimited calling in the US for one year, for $30 for the entire year. Overseas calls are just pennies a minute, often just one or two cents a minute, depending on the country..=20 You must first download the client from www.skype.com Then, go to the web site and establish an account. You can also establish a user name and account from within the program. You must then purchase Skype Out credits. Calls from PC to Pc are of course free, but calls from your PC to a phone are charged at very very low rates. So, after you purchase a block of Skype Out credits, you are then able to make calls in the US or of course overseas as well. The program works well with Jaws and Window-Eyes. -----Original Message----- From: real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of William Stephan Sent: Wednesday, May 02, 2007 10:17 AM To: real-eyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [real-eyes] Skype All: I'm thinking about subscribing to Skype,, in order to save on overseas long distance charges.
