    i just got a brand new t400, lookin to talk to family in florida via video calling (webcam). I tried skype last night and it had a bad color to it and I kept getting a dropped call (1 every 5-10 minutes). I then tried YM (yahoo) and the video was so behind and choppy.

    What do you guys recommend? lookin for one of the best webcam messengers out there
