Entry for November 28, 2006 10,OOO MILE PHONE CALL!!!

Techonology has come a long way in the last 45 years here at my house. Our first telephone during our first year was an adventure, there were 8 on the party line. You couldn't pick up the phone unless someone was using it, everyone knew everybodys business. No secerts in our little community. Times changed and we got a 4 party line, later a 2 party line. Each one of these was better than we started out, but finally after about 10 years we got our own private line. You talk about techonolgy, we had it big time!! Yesterday I would test current technology to the ulitimate. I had installed Yahoo Messenger on my computer. I needed a micophone to hook to the computer so I would have the call capability one pc to another pc. I found one, the headset type at Wal-Mart for around $20.00. All was ready to go on this end, all I needed was a party on the other end with this capabitity. Enter one Milli in far, far off Australia. I had seen she was on line with Yahoo Messenger so I tried the call and I GOT AN ANSWER SOME 10,000 miles away or for you'll on the metric system  15,963 km. away. The pure excitement on this end couldn't be contained. Our little talk lasted for 20 minutes and didn't cost anything. Techonolgy, techonolgy where will you go to next. I HIGHLY ADVISE EACH ONE TO GET ON THIS BAND WAGON, YOU WILL LOVE IT!!!!! It sure cuts down on all that typing.  Regards all.
