Webcam and Skype help if you don't mind

Hi Guys, I am trying to set up a Webcam on my computer, well actually it is all hooked up and all settings seem to be OK.

We are doing this so that when we are away we can still talk to the grandkids and stuff like that and they can actually see us as well, as I intend to get a web cam for all my kids and alices kids so that we can have a converstation at certain times, while on the road.

Well this is all good but i do not know at this time anyone to practice on, as im pretty new to this stuff.

So if their are one or two out there that have a webcam and do this sort of thing and use Skype would you be so kind as to send me your email address so I can practice on you so that I will know what im doing when i set this up on the kids computers.

I have one contact being Warren but it didn't go so well yesterdy from my end, but i think I have overcome that problem, and also Warren is no on today, well not that I can see anyway.

And if you have some other tips that may assist me pleese let me know, thanks. I need all the help I can get

Many thanks in advance.

Leon.

Jen, if you're up for a verbal chat (I don't have a web cam on this computer), I'll be online for a while.

It's a lot quicker to set up than Microsoft Office Professional 2007. I set up 2 computers with Office 2007 yesterday (Saturday).

Tony do you want to PM me your Skype name, might get to talk to you one day, but only if you want too.
