I have never made a video call in my life so would be equally petrified. I dont know zoom, certainly dont have it, but know the name from it being referred to in Covid times as being a conferencing thing that the teams etc used for meetings.....

.....what could possibly go wrong? :rofl:

Maybe now is a good time to give it a try :haha:

The worst thing is that I have no idea what we would talk about!

Zoom works well if you have specific things to discuss. Not so good if you just wanna hang out with friends.

We could do that as an end of year event perhaps? It would be nice to see some talking faces instead of the forum avatars for a change :)

The early-internet shock-site gone clone, times two, I do salute you.

Nothing original has ever taken place here, for the past 18 years.

We're just a battery for hire, with a guitar fire, ready and aimed at you.

So pick up your balls, and load up your cannon, for a twenty-one gun salute!

I'd be down for that! We do video conferencing for my job (MS Teams) and some of my other club activities (Zoom) all the time. Plus we could all share our ugly mugs. It would really be some interesting insight to see the face and hear the voice of the person behind the posting! :amazed: :huh: :haha: :rofl: :aggro: :annoyed: :thumbsup:
It would definately give me a new perspective when reading some of your adventures.
