About 18 months ago I won a copy of Intel's Create and Share software. I set it up myself and I eagerly tried to reach out and touch somebody<g>...After repeated attempts I finally successfully talked with someone and it was great to see the other person on video...After that I never attempted to call anyone else and I hardly ever used all components of the software other than using the camera to reflect on me and my 20 month old son (who finds it very amusing when he sees himself and his dad on the monitor!). I got some questions: It appears the only directory service I am allowed to be on is the default one (hello.connectedpc.com). It appears that I can set up a secondary directory service. Am I restricted to communicating with people at only these two directory services? Can I only communicate with fellow Intel users? What about NetMeeting? Can I use that service and use my camera with it? How about Nettophone? I guess I am in the dark about the different communication software out there and how they relate to my Intel hardware... I would appreciate some non too technical feedback. Thanks to all the gurus who participate here. George
