I am computer literate, but have never used Sykpe.

I have 2 people overseas that want to use Skype with me.

I have a newish laptop with a camera in it.

Is it easy to setup Skype ? and should my lappy work ?

Then I would like to test it with someone in NZ first.

Any volunteers ?

Personally I'd go Goggletalk instead though.

To test your microphone or headset, call the user "echo123" - it's Skype's call testing service. Basically you talk to a machine, and it plays back what you say.
