@q_professor In today’s age of email, Skype / Zoom, etc., you’re definitely not too far to be of help. I’m trying to put together a rough idea outline in the next couple of weeks. Perhaps we could exchange some thoughts on it around then. I would very much value your input

@TaniaWalker I’ve never done video calls with but voice works fine on Skype with the iPad. Most of my VoIP calls across the various services (Skype, Discord, Zoom, etc) are done on my iPad now. I am more and more often travelling just with my iPad and rarely hit any issues.

@benedictevans Seems to me some hardware companies have the opposite problem today. Their gadgets last too long, so they upgrade the operating systems to the point where the hardware becomes obsolete e.g. my perfectly good iPad II can no longer run Skype because the OS has maxed out.

That thing where you can’t get #Prokofiev out of your head because of last night’s @nyphil concert so you keep attempting to sing chunks of it, annoying someone so much he shuts down Skype & refuses to speak to you for the rest of the day. #sorrynotsorry

@KalhanR You can call your voicemail number using Skype from desktop and use Skype's record call feature to save them as an mp3 on your computer. Then you can upload them to Google drive or any other cloud storage service.

If it removes a bunch of jerks from the education of children and the kids are biased from under a mile away ANYWAY I don't see a problem. It's a new world and most of this stuff could be done remotely by @Skype. Just saying.

@VictorVrsnik @Caanz @EllaMinty @i_kostopoulos @PRSA My outcry over these issues led the then-PRSA Nat’l Chair to hold a Skype call with my local PRSA chapter board in Knoxville, TN, where I live/work, in which she defamed my motives & professionalism (I was not present to defend myself). #PowerAndInfluence

$MSFT Skype #skype has to be the worst ******* app ever. If you know your password, just answer 19 questions. If you don’t, no problem, just tell us when you lost your virginity, her name & 3 facts abt it. Seriously WTF. I need to make a call but will create a non-Skype account
