Skypecasting...new!

Dammit, Skype! Every week it's something new and a fantastic idea!

Now, they come up with Skypecasting....public phonecasting across the
planet.....

https://skypecasts.skype.com/skypecasts/home

Download or upgrade your Skype to 2.6 Beta with Skypecasting installed in
it. Create your own world Skypecasting channel.....

To connect to a Skypecast from Skype for Mobile, which doesn't have a
direct Skypecast tab, yet, open this Skypecast webpage and click the link
to the Skypecast you want to join and Skype for Mobile on the PDA will join
it for you. Skype 2.5 and earlier can join the same way if you don't want
to upgrade...

Looks like I'll be up all night, again....(c;

Will that work when you are out on a boat and out of range of wireless? Did
you give up sailing just so you could play with your new toy?

No, and neither will your cellphone offshore. So, your point is?

Maybe you should get a verizon cellphone.. I use mine 10-20 miles offshore
all the time and it works fine....

Wow, 20 miles! What boat do you have? I crew on an Amel Sharki 41 ketch
that belongs to an English friend....

We don't stay "in range" of anything, usually, except Iridium the boat has.
