Hi Mark,

Yes, Ashley is very helpful with technical issues. He has helped me a lot this past month. I've practiced speaking Welsh several times already with Jonathan Simcock on Skype. He is very knowledgeable and has a wonderful group that gets together to practice Welsh all the time. You are in very good company if you are associated with either of them.

Tam,
I have Skype working, with Ashley's help. I also had a conversation with a man from Derby, Jonathan Simcock, who kindly stopped what he was doing to tell me where to find some free learning resources.

I use the Logitech Quick Cam Pro 9000 video cam that has a built in microphone. It has worked very well and the image is very clear.

of course especially for the PSP 2000 you will have to buy the Skype headset w/ remote which also works with the PSP 3000 even though the 3000 has a built in mic. The audio system on the PSP I have never been fond of.

If you have a PSP 2000 or PSP 3000 you also have skype functionality built in. The PSP 3000 has a built in Mic which makes it easier to receive & make calls.

One has to do a little stepping to get Skype installed on Linux, at least on Debian/GNU-based distros. Here is how I did it.

I am using Ubuntu Linux (Debian-based)

agentbuzz@mail:~$ cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep model.name | uniq -c
4 model name : AMD Phenom(tm) 9850 Quad-Core Processor

agentbuzz@mail:~$ uname -v
#42-Ubuntu SMP Fri Apr 17 02:45:36 UTC 2009

agentbuzz@mail:~$ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs lib32asound2 libasound2-plugins

agentbuzz@mail:~$ wget -O skype-install.deb http://www.skype.com/go/getskype-linux-ubuntu-amd64

agentbuzz@mail:~$ sudo dpkg -i skype-install.deb

agentbuzz@mail:~$ sudo dpkg -i getlibs-all.deb

agentbuzz@mail:~$ sudo getlibs -p libqtcore4 libqtgui4 bluez-alsa

Now I need somebody to test with!
