Just to call your attention to a neat use of Skype.
Recently Frau was in the ER. Aside from being banned, cell phones weren’t working that well. I assume the building and well as all the electronics around were part of the reason. The fact it was around the corner from an XRAY MRI lab may account for why we were all “glowing”.
Any way, Frau wanted to talk to some relatives.
(Hey what else does one do during the 7 hour wait? If this is far better than socialized medicine, you can keep Hillary care!)
So, I had the idea to Skype. I had my laptop up on the hospital wifi, so I brought up skype, plugged in the headphones, and poof she was talking to relatives.
Everyone reported the calls clear and crisp.
For fun I went up on VWBBie (Verizon Wireless Broad Band) and it worked to. I could have opened my own phone booth.
(Maybe I should have called the ER doc on the phone and asked for them to shake a leg! I could have called the aide. That’d have been a hoot!)
Any way something to keep in mind if you’re stuck for a phone.
