Hi Dick and Janette
 
This is such a good idea.  Perhaps even a video-cam?
Lets go for it.

    It's nearly Friday and I = thought that I'd pass this on for what it's worth.   No flames are needed or expected.  For about a month now myself and several family = members have been using a voice and text based chat program to keep in touch.   We are impressed with it and I was wondering if = there would be any interest among listees in having a forum set up to discuss some = of the things that we do on the present server but by voice and in real time.    The program is freeware and all one needs is a = sound board, speakers and a microphone.   The program is = called FireTalk and is downloadable from the web at  www.multitude.com  .
It will allow as many as want to be on at one time = and you can have both the text chat box and the voice mode running simultaneously.  A forum has to be setup each time you go on = and should be password protected to keep out the usual unwanted persons = that seem to frequent the chat rooms.   I would like to suggest that = if it comes to fruitation that the forum be called VW Busses = and be password protected with GERRY which everyone is most = familiar with.    This would allow members to converse in real = time and in a group atmosphere.   Just putting it out FWIW.   Thanks.
