I was watching on TV where two people were seeing and talking to each other on their laptops (full screen). Both at different locations.

So crystal clear (no "pixelating" or jerkiness).

I would love to be able to do that.

What is needed to do so?

Thanks.

Skype among other programs will do this. Regarding the lack pixelating and jerkiness they were probably/very likely using a higher end computer and had high speed connections.

My BIL in the UK pays for very slow access and wonders why we cannot both use our cameras successfully, besides the slow connection he has a lower end computer. Great for everything he needs except good images when using the webcam.

and while we are talking about bats

I think the distance from trees thing could be related to giving the bats easy access in and out of the house. They swoop in very fast, so a clear "run way" in front of the house would probably help. Might be for predators, too, I don't know. I do know that martins need a lot of clearance in and out of their house for that reason, and I'm guessing bats might prefer that, too, rather than twisting and turning through trees to reach their shelter. I would also like to learn more, though I don't know if I have a good spot here for a bat house. Marcia

Moni, I finally found the thread. I will be in OKC sometime on Friday. Is this something that is stored and you can't get to now and need to wait, or is it something you need to sell now? Either way, I may be interested.

What about vinyl siding? Mine was given to me (very long story) and I don't love it. It's a generic tan and I would like something else. Can I do it without it peeling next year? And what kind of paint? That new Duron product? All advise (besides not painting it) is very welcome. Thanks! Christine

Ok, while I'm talking drapes....

You might want to paint the room first because once you put a different color on the walls, you may find that you don't even need drapes. The contrast between the walls and your white trim will be lovely by itself. Which color are you going to use?
