So much better now that he has internet access in his room! OK, it's not the same as the real live guy and not even quite as good as talking on the phone, but at least now we can chat on Messenger and it's real-time! Up til now it was just stupid emails back and forth.
I hate this 4 hour time difference though. By the time I'm ready to settle in and chat, he's off to bed. Or when he has time after class, I'm still working. Stoooooooopid. Ah well, at least we get some time to talk and occasionally enough time to turn on the webcams and see each other's faces.
He did some serious complaining to the folks in charge of his accomodations and has managed to get himself guaranteed (of course, guaranteed has an array of different meanings in the military) a room in the better building later this month. If all goes well, he'll have his own phone, free internet access (right now he has to pay for his....), free cable, DVD, bigger TV and a bigger better bed. (Don't ask their reasoning as to why the guys that HAVE to go there for SIX MONTHS got stuck in the old building with fewer perks, and the guys that just flit in for TWO WEEKS get the skookum new building!)

Hey, try downloading Skype: http://www.skype.com/intl/en/. We used it while I was in Vancouver. Just like talking over the phone- except free!
I have Skype for work, and actually hate it! At least with Messenger it's video conferencing so I can see him. I hate talking to the computer I guess....I'd rather just use the phone.
I thought you had the Shaw phone?
