Gmail chat and Skype

Slept like a good girl at 10 EST... woke up thinking someone pressed the bell or called on the phone but everything is silent everywhere... I look at the clock.. it's 3 am EST. Maybe I was dreaming. Before I sleep again, my eyes fall on my laptop... and hey presto I find some of the most important people in the world online... :)

I chat with everyone for sometime then get bored of typing. I remember I have a nice headset with me n think of experimenting with Gmail chat. Luckily I have a friend online who's used it before. I find Gmail chat is working only one way. My friend can hear me but I can't hear him. Ofcourse it may be a problem with his mic but until I test it again with someone else I won't know. Hmmm... I should try Skype. He gets a call n logs off. Skype remains untested.
