Mind if you send me a copy of your email to your ex on using Skype? No use in re-inventing the wheel (he says with an evil grin). Rambler

I have better things to do than waste my time writing about it - her asking was a deliberate time-waster, she has no intention of allowing it. In any case, try explaining to a dog about cat culture, she wouldn't understand. I'm going to get 2 web cams and set one up on the old laptop my daughter used to use here then teach her how to plug in cat 5 cable and enable the onboard ethernet - in fact we can have it all set up so all she has to do is plug into her mother's router. Then I shall give it to daughter to take to her mother's then what happens is not under my control is it. The trouble is her mother has macs not pc's and there could be some network issues - which is why I need her mother's co-operation to solve. And in any case, we should co-operate on issues like this. You know I'm almost tempted to try sitting in my car outside ex'es house with my laptop and see if there are any open wireless networks amongst her neighbours so daughter wouldn't need her mother's network, just the laptop - i suppose I shouldn't do that tho as its stealing someone's bandwidth at the least - could be illegal also. So I won't - it was only a passing thought. bogey

You realize of course that by taking this tack you are doing the same thing you abhorred your ex from doing when your daughter entered your house without your permission? Don't you? Rambler

The web cam sounds like a pretty decent idea although it is a bit tough to work out the details without any cooperation from the ex. Casey |
