Hi there. All you need is two web-cams, Logitech do good ones for as little as £30. You also need two mics and these can be picked up for about £3.99 from any computer shop. The cam will be USB and the mic plugs in to the 'Mic' socket at the back of your pc. Installation is easy and quick and you should be up and running in no time. If you have a hotmail account then you will have MSN Messenger. Just have your other half logged in and you can request a video call with them. Its really easy, if you need someone to test with just drop us an email and I will give you my details to test it all out with. Good luck and have fun.
