Technical Support & Skype

Hi Everyone

Having just registered with Skype, I have found that there really is something in the world that is
totally free & does not bombard you with obtrusive advertising.
The ability to make telephone (VOIP) calls to anywhere in the world for nothing is rather good :slight_smile:

The free bit is not strictly correct as you need to buy a headset & microphone (at a cost of a few
beers!) if you computer does not have in-built facilities, but contacting other Skype users does not
cost a penny after that!!

Whilst dealing with Kristen's problem at the Grade I regatta in Sydney, it strikes me that being
able to telephone someone & talk through the problem is even better than SUG

If anyone wants to take advantage of my Skype registration for a major event you can search on my
rat@attat.com email address to find me.
I would ask however, that if anyone is tempted to take up the offer, please check this site first
:wink:

Nie work, Ralph,

I already have Skype and you are exactly correct – it’s
fantastic.

We find it help to put our time zone on our skype profile –
stops people calling you at 2 in the morning! J

Cheers

kristen
