I love the idea of this Skype an author thing. Unfortunately it's blocked in my district due to low bandwidth issues. Apparently in my state all districts get the same amount of bandwidth and I'm in the biggest district which ironically means we have the least amount of bandwidth. Someone sends a forwarded email with an animated gif and it slows things down to a crawl. It's ridonkulous.

Hi Jim,

Will your library support an iPhone with a 4G connection with which to Skype? Put the device under a doc cam!

Good luck!
