Holiday Skype calls unite families

Telephones bring families together at holidays. We make room at the dining table for a laptop, a Skype window between two homes.

Thanks to Barry Silver for the beautiful photo with the Moses family: Shankar, Manakshi, Sita Chan, and Umba. cc-by. You can see Barry's reflection in the screen and his picture in the lower left corner of the Skype window.

Skype set up Asia-Pacific USO centers with Skype credits and webcams for soldiers and sailors calling home. Stop by to Skype home at USO Guam, USO Japan in Yokosuka, USO Okinawa, or USO Korea in Seoul. I'm sure you already know the international date line and time zone differences.

P.S. Does anyone make wide-angle or panoramic webcams?
