No Skyping for Me

So... I figured that since just about all of our children had web cams, I would break down and get a web cam so we could Skype every once in awhile.  The web cam came today.  I installed it, and I could get it to work just fine except for on Skype.  I (with help from Amy) spent three hours trying to get the camera to work together with skype, including well over an hour with tech support.  Needless to say, I packed the whole thing back in the box and sent it back to Amazon.   I will not be Skyping any time soon.  The phone has worked wonderfully well up to this point.  What was I thinking!?!
