Well, me for example. It's tricker with LA people though because of the time difference, NYC works well, because I can talk in the middle of the day, and in their morning, but the nights I can't talk here, and LA folks are 9 hours "after" me, so.. that's tricky. Stupid time.
Okay. It might be a while though, or we get to make the time difference less. Hmm. So, I started watching Firefly last night, I've just seen the first loooong episode. I like it. It's like a crazy mix to me of Star Wars, of course, Twin Peaks - well, the whore (heh) gave me Twin Peaks vibes for some reasons, and old cowboy stuff I watched as a kid ... and I'll watch more later.
I'm sure your new lap top has built in mic, yes.
