I have speakers but no built in mics, which stinks because I have to use these awkward headphones to talk on skype. (I need a new laptop). I just finally plugged in my "eyeball" so I can pitch the headphones. Yahoooo!

Ditto with Jen! Love Skype, but don't use the teleconferencing as much because I don't have a built in mic and web-cam not plugged in. (A little lame, I know). I am no longer lame Jen! I am all hooked up!; ▶ Reply to This
