If we see you suddenly sucked out of your computer room, we'll look for you in OZ. Don't forget to wear your magic slippers. :p

Things haven't gotten bad here yet. The wind has picked up a bit and humidity is through the roof though that is normal for here. Although we are still in the zone for potential problems the chance of rain has actually been dropped from what was projected last night.

Watch out for the 2" Diameter Hail! :D Grin

One thing you might want to address on the show is the new Apple Beta program for OSX Mavericks 10.9.3. I joined up and when you do a reporting tool (My Name for it) is installed in the Dock and you are to use that if you find any issues to report them to Apple!!!

Looks like the major system slid north . . . good for us, but hope the folks in Mo get by OK.

So far the watches and warnings for this area have been a few hours north of us into southern Arkansas. There's still some talk of severe weather in our area sometime tomorrow.

That is good to hear anyway. I am worried about a mutual friend of yours and mine. James. He is by AK border where tornadoes were predicted. So far nothing from him.

Glad you are ok my friend.

Ashamed to say I did not think of that until I read the e-mail about this post. I got to the phrase "mutual friend" and thought "james".

Hi Sly.... - sorry about missing the chat (sent you a PM) - also, hope all is well w/ you; my brothers live in Hot Springs, Arkansas; a devastating tornado came through that state but north of them near Little Rock (16 people dead!) - they received rain & lightening but no damage. That area of Arkansas (been there many times) is surrounded by the Ouachita Mountains which seem to divert those types of storms. Dave :)

Glad to hear that James is well. Sometimes I go quite a while without hearing from him. Last I heard from him was a post on MacOSG.

Just saw this thread in the iPad Forums on a new 'free' Skype offering - check HERE - seems like Skype will be offering video group calling - I know that the Google Hangouts has been a little problematic having participated in a couple of chat sessions - will this be a better option? Don't know but maybe worth exploring - Dave :)

I'll definitely give this a look. Been a whaler since I did anything with Skype. The one person I used it for finally went Mac and started using FaceTime. Will probably be Friday evening before I get a chance to play with it.

Gave the article a quick glance and did not notice the answer to two questions:

1. How many people can connect at once? The most we have had so far is three participants and several viewers but it would be nice to know the limitations.

2. Is it possible for someone not directly participating to view the chat?

Edit: Did a bit of poking around and found that there are some time constraints which should not be an issue for us.. The system requirements page points Although five participants seems to be a suggested limit, one of the support pages lists requirement minimums for up to 7 participants.

I think it does that sometimes if you click on it before the chat has started. That might have been during the time I neglected to hit the start button.
