[SEL] O.T. Chatting via Skype

[Patrick M Livingstone]

After a bit of gentle nudging (OK a phone call from the USA asking why I
have not got my act together) I have finally bought headset for my computer
and installed Skype. 
After a couple of false starts I had a nice chat with Dave Croft in England
and with Curt Andree in the USA. We then had a conference call where we were
talking about engines (and other stuff) between three continents. There was
a slight delay on the conference call but the distances involved are pretty
amazing. And how much did all this talking to each other cost (apart from my
purchase of a headset)? Nothing!!
What a great way to be in contact with your engine mates from around the
world, even if they talk with funny accents :)
