No Answer
I set up the Skype software on my PC last month, and bought a new USB headset to use with it. (The pictured user on the headset box didn’t seem to be nearly as satisfied as the microphone model.) Here’s the problem: I have no one to talk to!
Isn’t that sad? I’m not trying to be needy; I mostly want to try out my latest toy. I thought I should talk to friends and relatives about using Skype instead of the telephone, but I’m realizing that I don’t use the phone very often. It rings quite a bit, but the call is never for me.
So far, my contact list consists of three people. My neighbor is the one that told me about it, so I added him. We’ve only had one call while I tested the previously mentioned microphone. I bugged my son to install it so that I could test from work, but he never runs it. The only contact I’ve ever seen online is the Skype Test Call. She is always there for me, although the conversation is always short.
I need to find software that will help automate something I actually do. Let’s see – web surfing, TV watching, napping. How would a virtual nap work?
