Do we want to try again?

Thanks for the opportunity yesterday to see everyone and put faces to some very familiar names.     I know I probably looked like a crazed animal in a soundproof box to you guys, but yes I could hear you and my mic was not on mute so my problem must lie a lot deeper in the entrails of this dang machine. I did change some things (I don't know what) afterwards, so we will see what happens next time. The time here was 8am on Sat. morning, so timing suits me.

There's a way you can check your audio on Skype. I went to "skype.com" and found "echo/sound test services". I was able to activate it and speak, and it bounced back after a short delay, checking my mic and speakers. No video check, but that seemed to work OK for you.
