DonO:
If you have a high speed internet connection, once you get the camera
($30-100), setting up the video session is pretty simple. I use Yahoo IM
which has been pretty straightforward - and it's free. The voice part is
free, too, at least for person to person.
Not sure about setting up a conference or broadcast, but I know you can let
multiple people at least view the session, even if they're not getting
sound. And I would guess there are other free sites that allow the
conference feature.
Has anyone used Skype? It's free through Google and has been recommended to
me as well.
Hope that helps some
Kev

I was thinking, just for vfb'ers, to have a chat-room clinic for
rope-dubbing. If everyone could set up a tying station next to their pc, I
could walk everyone through the steps. Then when someone has a problem with
a step, I can help them through it.
If someone knows how to set up a video conference session, I would buy a pc
camera and put on clinics this way.
Can't do it anytime soon, though, still strapped with the contract that kept
me from attending Sowbug.

Did not get my lesson - guess I will just go to DonO's site and practice,
practice, practice.

Mike was anyone able to show you the "rope a dub" or "dub a rope"
technique? I can't dub worth beans but Tony has given me some advice that I
will follow next time I have to use dubbing.

Just a note to thank all those that helped me and made the Sowbug
experience very enjoyable.
Tony, thank you very much. You are a very classy person and I count
it a privledge to know you. It was fun sharing Wildcat with Denny, Ken, and
others. The tying was a fun experience. I gave away a bunch of flies that
I am sure are not for saving but for dunking. There were others there who
had the saving kind and they were beautiful. Rick was a nice mentor as I
sat there to tie. He helped me feel more comfortable. I learned that most
seemed to want to see something unique. It was fun to meet the irreverant
Mark. He is more of a character in person than on the list. And he seems
to be headed to Mountain Home. I hope he gets a home big enough to house
some of us on return trips. Allan is just as kind in person as on the list.
Buck, Peggy (how's the new rod?), Joe and others what a pleasure to meet
all of you. It was great to put faces with all of you. I was not available
to see Hans tie and that was a disappointment.
Unfortunately, my disappointments were as high as my pleasures. I
had to leave early. I did not get a chance to fish with Tony. I did not
get a chance to fish much at all. Next time, I will plan to stay several
days there after the Sowbug and get to know the area and the people better.
Allan and others that took pictures would you email me copies? I only took
a few and had intended to take a lot. Thanks again to all. It was
memorable.
Mike
