I'm surprised I haven't used this picture yet. I suppose I can only post so many pictures of Skype and Facetime and Google Hangout sessions.

But it's nice that we can chat, face-screen to face-screen, a few times a week.

I remember being on a cruise contract, in port, trying to find good wifi, and getting annoyed when my downloads would slow down and I'd realize someone in the bar or restaurant was using Skype. It seems to take a lot of bandwidth. Some places even try to discourage it. "No Skype, no Skype," they say. I'd get annoyed and think, "Come on, why do you have to do that? You're ruining it for everybody."

I get it now.
