Skype


Hi Dad

Great to hear you had a nice day out and hopefully Mum will enjoy your selection of 'Cook' dinners!
Gloria uses them all the time for impromptu reserve catering and we all thought she had suddenly learned to shop prepare and cook beef bourgignon LOL!

Nic wants to be able to use Skype to keep in touch more easily and for that I propose we get the internet through to the conservatory.
I will install a mac mini behind the Panasonic TV using it as a wide screen monitor.
I think Mum will be happier to see her off-spring on the TV so to speak.

To facilitate this I have ordered online to be delivered to your house a pair of Powerline Ethernet Adapters.
One connects up to the router in the office and sends data down the ring main to be picked up by its twin, which connects to the Mac Mini.

I have a wireless mouse and keyboard so it can all be operated from the bed settee.
There is the issue of a web cam but I'll bring one over and we'll see how we get on.

So expect a delivery for me will you.
