New Year’s Resolution: Learn something new!

Greetings and Happy New Year,

While most of us have our Airstreams tucked in for the winter, this is a good time to learn something new and something that appears to be a natural fit for the FCU which touts itself as a modern online connected unit.

I am talking about the free software program called Skype available for Windows, Mac, Linux and WiFi enabled cell phones.

Features

  • Free Skype-to-Skype calls to people anywhere in the world.
  • Free video calls – plus get more detail than ever before with High Quality Video.
  • Call land line phones and mobiles at pretty cheap rates per minute.
  • Instant message when it’s not a good time to talk.
  • Forward your calls and get text messages when you’re not online.

Visit your local Radio Shack or an online store for a web cam & mic if you don’t have them already built into your laptop.

Join jheald, Worner, Hatfield, Duke and others who are already online.

Skype is a great way to stay connected with one on one video calls. It also supports group audio only calls that may be useful for conducting FCU business online.

Once you have Skype set up, give me a call to try it out; jheald is my Skype name.
