Thanks.
Works perfectly for the above..... that is what I use it for.
Ya need a webcam with a microphone for best results.
I also use it to see my rugrat when I travel abroad....... voice calls are cheap too. I think I paid $.025/minute from Japan to the US for phone calls.
Perfect sound and picture in my experience.
Make sure that both computers (send and receive) are fast enough and have enough memory. Skype publishes the minimum requirements.... a lil more is nice.

Video was even spot on overseas.

Any questions.... shoot me a PM.
