Hi everyone;

Riba says a lot of things  you may agree with.
However my experience (started just yesterday) with Skype and a bluetooth
headset (Sony Ericsson HBH-65) is not that great; I wonder whether that
comes from the headset, the bluetooth technology, my broadband ADSL
connection (2048 ko) or my 450 Mhz Cube with 1.5 go RAM under OS 10.3.8.

Greetings.

Daniel
