No solutions that I could find, just Skype people saying "Send us your logs." and other people saying "What do you mean send our logs, don't you already know what's wrong?"<br /><br />I'm not so sure getting a netbook will ensure success given what I've read. I will have to try again later and then give up if I see no change.tudzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813121581730777404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120086448884995573.post-80112231981599674422010-10-10T09:01:23.392-07:002010-10-10T09:01:23.392-07:00@John Gray:

Thanks for the wishes!<br /><br />-HoldenHoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01164992563260946309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120086448884995573.post-13250741054000459262010-10-10T08:59:42.120-07:002010-10-10T08:59:42.120-07:00@tudza, I'm sorry that I can't help (I don...@tudza, I'm sorry that I can't help (I don't have an OLPC right now.) This was such a long time ago, I'm sure the versions have changed.<br /><br />I think you're dealing with two different issues:<br />1) The choppyness - this can be due to a lot of different factors. I would first try another call when there is as little traffic on your internet connection as possible (3am, if you like? :) To see if it's just your connection.<br /><br />2) The speed of playback seems high: Not sure what this is, though I'm guessing its on your end (not the Skype server) as if it was on Skype's end, everyone would be complaining. Not sure what to suggest; perhaps go to a forum with some experts?<br /><br />Best,<br /><br />-HoldenHoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01164992563260946309noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120086448884995573.post-61187550876787652802010-10-10T08:55:28.058-07:002010-10-10T08:55:28.058-07:00So I got Skype installed and it works, mostly.

When I used the echo123 service to test things, my voice is very choppy and it seems to be sped up in some fashion.<br /><br />Any idea what might be going on there and how I might fix it?tudzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16813121581730777404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120086448884995573.post-66919177817831319842008-08-11T20:02:00.000-07:002008-08-11T20:02:00.000-07:00Hello Holden and so happy I have found you!

It worked quite well.<BR/><BR/>When I returned I put my XO away to rest.<BR/><BR/>I am getting ready for another journey so decided to try SKYPE on XO. I cannot seem to remember the command, what to type in once I open the terminal.<BR/><BR/>-bash-3.2# skype says command not found<BR/><BR/>Holden, I admire what you are doing with your life.<BR/><BR/>My daughters have been doing the same and I am at it still at age 70. Life is rich!<BR/><BR/>Many thanks and may you have wonderful journeys always.<BR/><BR/>Very best wishes,<BR/><BR/>John Gray<BR/>jbgrayiii@mac.com<BR/>http://web.mac.com/jbgrayiii/Site/Splash.htmljbglapazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14268726320094323692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120086448884995573.post-33397512441172834322008-04-01T23:54:00.000-07:002008-04-01T23:54:00.000-07:00VivaceMusica, glad you're on board with the moveme...VivaceMusica, glad you're on board with the movement! The opportunity you referenced was called "Give 1 Get 1" or more simply G1G1. It ended in December 2007. There are rumors of another later in 2008, but I've found nothing concrete. I'm sure if you do some searching you'll be able to find someone in your area with a laptop who is more than happy to share! You might want to post a location (very general) and someone on here can reply if they're in your area!<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>Holdenhbonwithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00522300652178559100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1120086448884995573.post-77759540827846036992008-04-01T21:11:00.000-07:002008-04-01T21:11:00.000-07:00The OLPC laptop is too cool!

But, it's such a good cause that I should donate anyway! It's just that I'd love to see one in real life.vivacemusicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03938237542011582797noreply@blogger.com
