I Talked to JJ!

[Dan Pierce]

That's right. JJ and I talked, person to person, via skype. Way on the other side of the world and it was if we were sitting next to each other. Very cool.

And you survived to talk about it. I've had a few Skype's with him. Notice I said a few. He won't leave you alone now. Hell nag you worse than a wife will (sorry ladies)

[Dan Pierce]

Great, now you tell me!
Actually, I'm thrilled I figured out how to use it.

Please don't go there You'll regret it the rest of your long life He'll start by PM-ing you about Skype. If you finally cave in and talk to him you are lost. You're doomed I tell you, doomed

I sure do...I spent 15 years in California getting rid of it and then it came back when I moved back to NY and Lisa do you have an Oklahoma drawl?

[Lisa]

I guess I do. I was born here and lived here for 40 years and in San Antonio, Texas for 4 years. Among other Oklahomans, my accent isn't very strong. I say ya'll and stuff like that, but I don't really say "dang" except here on the forums, just to be silly. I used to do voice work for a little extra pocket change, so got pretty good at disguising my accent.

[kcmo]

Well I don't think I've picked up a Texas accent...still got my South African one! That's enough;)

I bet JJ's accent is pretty cool! I also love Australian accents.

[Incurable]

Yeah, I'll bet he's got an accent... Baaaahhh

[Elaine]

ha ha ...... with all the accents around here, really wonder whats its like speaking to a fellow forumer and if we will have problem understanding each other

JJ don't you need a special phone hooked into your PC and a different ISP?

It can't be free otherwise there would be a lot of phone companies going out of business!

Audible 'chat' has been around for quite a while. IM programs from AOL, Yahoo and others have offered this feature for years. I've chatted it up all around the world, all for just the cost of my ISP service. Yes, the phone company should have a problem with it, and has... The down sides are it works like a walkie talkie, only one person talking at a time. The other is you can't really 'call' someone. You look to see if they're online and then contact them via text. Once you agree, both go to the mic and off you go. I haven't v-chatted in years so some of this info may be old. That's how it used to work anyways.

Yeah, he has an Indian / Kiwi Accent! I've spoken to him on several occasions on skype. It's a great way to communicate around the world. Just purchased a wirless wifi phone from them so I can take it anywhere around the house w/me or use it at any wifi location as well.

Pat's it's come quite a ways since you've chatted. You now can chat at the same time and I have a wirless/wifi phone that rings as well it's great! If both parties have skype it's free, If you are contacting a non skype party then you just buy "skype credits" CHEAP VERY CHEAP/ under 30.00 US dollars for a year! All calls in US, Canada are included and you can also call a land line as well. I use it almost daily to call relatives in Canadathat have a land line only! Pretty sweet.

Thanks for the info ezmoney... Like I said above, I haven't IM'ed or chatted in quite some time. I used to use AOL chat and Yahoo Messenger and talk with folks from all over the place. It was fun and free... As with everything, sounds like it's more sophisticated now. I thought skype.com was just a place to post morbid videos...??? Apparently not...

[ezmoney46]

Skype is a VOIP supplier, like Vonage. I've really enjoyed it especially for the cost or should I say lack of....

Dan, I'm truly sorry you didn't ask anyone before you entered this treacherous territory of "JJ Skypeland". Those of us who made this mistake long before you could have warned you away and saved you a lot of future grief.

You will now find yourself being awakened at 3 AM EST to talk sheep.

But worse than talking by Skype - after all, you can always shut down and later claim power failure - is actually meeting this Bald Kiwi Loon in person. There's no way to get away from him then. You have to sit there and listen to sheep talk for hours on end with no relief.

I can't believe how slow I am to some of the new [or in my case not so new] technologies out there. I'm amazed how many of you have "been there, done that".
Poor JJ called me last night because I told him I'd be home but ended up having a gig with my band. I'm sure I'll talk to him today.

Oh dear, another victim. Never mind - it's about time we formed a support group.

I've spoken to JJ quite a few times, even before this forum took off. JJ's as much of a gent on the phone as he is on the forum.

[SPACE-DWELLER]

Maybe I should try it out!
