Skype - Videoconferencing - NYE 2008: Can we make this happen, or is the point moot?

I'm sorry the Skype thing didn't work out too well. It's difficult for me to "man" the laptop when I'm needing to greet guests, our drinks and do other hostess stuff. I like Chris' web cam idea - I know Steph got on at some point, but I'm not sure how.

JWBear DID get us on Skype in my laptop after Erica called me. When she called in, I couldn't answer because I can only handle one video conference at a time. Sigh.

Anyways, there must be a better way to both see AND hear people. Jen brought some speakers to attach to my Mac, but even then I couldn't hear John and Bill very well.

It's frustrating on this end and I'm sure it must be equally fristrating on those trying to connect. I'm not sure what to do other than do a Yahoo web cam thing and maybe a group chat via yahoo simultaniously. Then we can just set up a station for communication and leave it to man itself.
