I haven’t used very much ‘professional’ audio conferencing, but for my personal needs I’ve found Skype to be a pretty useful and fairly reliable option.

My poor wife’s vanity table is nearly 20 years old! We bought it when we got married, and it has done its service. In the intervening period, it has been removed three times; and each time the mirror looks like it will fall off! I think it’s held on by thin, short pieces of wood!…

I was browsing through the DVD boxed sets at Amazon just a few minutes ago. I am very surprised at what is now available for purchase now. There are many boxed sets from even before the era of the DVD itself. This is just great, especially for the kind of videos that I find useful…
