I, too, hope I didn't sound too negative. Hey, everybody in my family and circle of friends is on FaceBook except ME. That should tell you something, Charlie. My wife, children, grandchildren and friends have all tried to drag me kicking and screaming into the 21st. Century. I feel like a dinosaur in that the old stuff is much more appealing to me than the new. But, to second what Richard said, our son has studied abroad in Europe and South America for quite a few years. We used Skype to talk to him through the internet and it saved us a small fortune in telephone costs. So, at least I've used Skype. Maybe that's the one crack in my Ancient Ways Wall.
