So many new releases...

Since starting this blog and particularly in the past week or so, there seem to have been new versions of several of my chosen products...

Firefox 1.5
OpenOffice 2.01
Skype 2.0

and today

Thunderbird 1.5

I guess I'm going to be busy in the coming days...

FIL makes his first Skype call

My wife was surprised today to hear her father calling her on Skype.

Until now it's been the other way around (and even then he doesn't always here the PC ringing and riging and ringing...)

Lets hope the phone bill starts to reduce now

New Year and everything seems to be working

Since migrating to Opensource/free software and setting up the groundbreaking FIL's PC (for him at least), everything seems to be running smoothly.

We received e-mails, initiated Skype calls. Fingers crossed, no serious problems reported either at home or away.
