Works for me Wednesday - MSN Messenger
Works for me Wednesday - MSN Messenger
Most of you will probably think I am incredibly slow in catching on to this but here goes. Last week, I installed the latest version of MSN Messenger. This version facilitates both video and audio links. Then, last Saturday, my parents and I both bought webcams with built in microphones. (I bought this one, for about €23,- )
That evening, Munchkin was seeing her grandparents and talking to them through the laptop. She was waving and blowing kisses. loving every second of it! As we pay a set fee for the broad-band connection, there are no extra costs for calling like this and I am already looking forward to seeing how much less our next phone bill will be! I am loving the way I can stay in touch, and even see, family and friends so quickly and easily.
They are in The Netherlands, I am in Ireland, yet we can see in to each other's sitting room and chat about whatever we like, without worrying about clocking up too much phone time!
MSN-Messenger web chats - Works for me!

What a great way to communicate with people who live far away. I'm sure the Grandparents loved it too!
Thanks for sharing this tip!
Blessings!

I've been using MSN Messenger for as far back as I can remember, around 10 years now (wow, I can't believe it!) and I love the way it's changed over the years. The audio/video chats are awesome for keeping in touch! Great tip =)

We used to do that to when we lived in a different state than my parents. The adults in the family use our blogs now to keep in touch!

Webcams are fantastic, aren't they?! I'm glad you figured this one out. :)
By the way, I got your letter in the mail! I'm working on a response. Thanks so much! I love having you as a penpal. :)
