I think I will stick with my HD webcam for now.

Yeah I know, this isn’t exactly leaps and bounds in technological breakthroughs in the past ten years…but when you’re as old as I am, eeverything new they unveil is remarkable. I remember what it was like to BE the tv remote.

And all this money for a point-to-point. Definitely not for home users.

So I buy one for myself and pay $600 plus another $280 for the annual service, then I get my parents one and shell out the same amount. Thats $1,560 for a video call!! what is cisco thinking? I can do a free call from my living room with a Sony Playstation 3 on both ends with a camera.
