As web master of Camp Omega On line, I'm always thinking of new and better ways to bring us together. The forum has turned out to be a great success, and now I think I may have a way of topping that: a way to call each other whenever we're on the website or on line, using a free internet service. There are several, I use one called Skype. Don't ask me what it stands for.
Here's how it works:
Step 1: Go to the Skype website, http://www.skype.com
Step 2: Download the free software. Choose a user ID, usually your name. Mine is art.steinman
Step 3: Get something to use as an internet phone. Radio Shack, or any other electronics retailer should have them. There are inexpensive ones that start at six or seven dollars. Remember to ask for a VoIP phone.
Step 4. Send me your user name and I'll add you to a Camp Omega contact list. With the contact list you can simply put in a user name and Skype will check to see if that person is on line and will connect your call, right then and there, over the Internet. I think I can even set up a free conference call for a "virtual reunion".
There are no charges for the calls, even international ones. Andrew Fold is a Skype user, and others may be, too.Please send me an email at warlord@campomegaonline and let me know what you think!Artie Steinman
