hello; you explained it much better than the help section did. i know a couple of my nephews have an i device. guess i when i update my signature I'll have to add a FaceTime and a Skype handle. I'm mainly doing it for business as selling amusement rides is a global task. I'm looking forward to it. next question, do i need a headset or can i use the built in microphone? thanks again, max On Apr 6, 2012, at 9:48 PM, Chantelle Griffiths wrote:
