Thanks, tht helps a lot, however, where do I get the headphones with the
built-in mike? Also I don't think a lot of people like to type, they had just
rather talk, if possible, personally, typing is fine for me, but talking would
be better really.. Do you just download the software or do you have to go
purchase it on the shelf? I would appreciate any advice you can give me jon how
to get started using Skype, I run Jaws, version 10 right now.. Thanks, Pat

Hi Pat. You don't need to have a webcam to use Skype. You can even use it
without a microphone and just type to each other. However, most people use
skype for talking to each other rather than typing in my experience. I found a
piece of software called skypetalking which works with a number of screen
readers. It reads out information like what people type to you or their status
when they go online or offline. I use a headset which has headphones and a
microphone built in. You can also just get a microphone but be aware of the
possibility of feedback and choose its position to be far enough away from the
speakers to avoid that. I've never had Vista but presume skype would behave
like it does on Windows XP or Windows 7. Hope that helps a little.
