So the main reason I'm taking a laptop this time around is that the company I work for, enlighten technologiesTM, is allowing me to take one of theirs. Using the ASUS Eee PC, I will be able to use the Internet to videoconference home using free chat, video and voice software. I am not sure how often I will actually be in the chat, but if you want to look me up, it is hosted at our site (click here). It should be a fun experiment to say the least. Part of our reason for testing is to see how well this freebie software compares to other services for our friends at the Czech & Slovak Museum in Cedar Rapids, IA. The museum staff is interested in setting up videoconferencing with those in the Czech Republic. However, after the devastating flood last year, they have some larger funding concerns on their plate - so how nice it will be to offer them free videoconferencing! I am confident it will work smoothly!
