First Business Trip Webcam Action

I've started a 2 week training journey in Ossining, NY at GE's leadership & learning center Crotonville (http://tinyurl.com/yj9cd77). That's a long time away from the family so we finally got serious about setting up and using our webcam. We originally bought it back in Atlanta to try and communicate better with the Mantua and St. Louis folks, but it never really took off. Now we are using it along with Google's Video Chat feature in Gmail. It is a great picture, and really great results. The video and audio had very little delay if any, and the whole session was very stable. A great thing to have...we talked for about 50 minutes tonight before both sides decided it was the right time for bed (actually Jeremy started throwing toys all over the basement so Mom mostly decided it was time for bed!) We are really happy with it and look forward to using it as much as we can over these 2 weeks.
