Title: Anyone still use Skype?
Post by: tehjaybo on July 30, 2009, 02:51:17 PM: I'm bored at work, and it's one of the few things I can still use. And I just got in the Plantronics headset I ordered from Newegg when they had a kickass special on them, and I want to try it out. Skype SN is tehjaybo.

Post by: Bloodwake on July 30, 2009, 02:57:16 PM: No, but evidently my new laptop is designed for it. I might try hooking that shit up later.

Plantronics is quality stuff. I use those at work. They've been working for almost 5 years.

This is the main reason I got it. We use a messenger called SameTime here, and it has voice capabilities. I figure it'll be easier to talk to some people rather than type to them about some of the tech stuff I'll no doubt end up explaining.

But I'd really like to check out the voice quality on here if anyone wants to sign up and talk to a fellow Borian.
