I love SKYPE! --- I hate wireless networks!

I think Skype's wonderful! Today I've spoken to friends and colleagues on three continents and been able to see them too!

I've been a computerphile for a long time now, from the 'middle ages' of computers where you had to learn strange languages (CPM+ was ny favourite) to make it all happen. I thought I was pretty good at using modern PCs, but connecting a wireless ADSL router to my ISP has almost driven me insane -- it would really have helped if Tiscali had made it obvious where I could find the configuration info (to be fair, their tech support was pretty good). Anyway, it seems to be up and running and even my PDA can see it -- what fun!
