Something Tech related

I have been using Skype to talk to my cousin in Belgium. She has a new born baby and it's so great to see both of them online. The baby is eating well and they are all very excited to see me online too. However, I did not manage to use the microphone to speak to them. I can only hear the baby's "mmmmm" without responding. That's a shame. I think I have to check the setup again and hopfully I can talk to them online. I quite like the idea of Skype because I can use it to talk to my friends overseas, as well as MSN which I can talk to them at no cost. Seeing them online while they talk is a very fascinating experience to me.
