My two youngest  kids are just playing Halo3 on the X-Box against two of their friends – also brothers. They are talking to the other kids through headsets – the younger lads in one team and the older siblings in another.  Using VoIP over the internet!

I understand there is some echo on the voice (by the tone of the conversation) but they are plotting strategy.

I’m just flabbergasted by this.  I know I knew this was doable but when you see it in action it is amazing.

Doesn’t stop their mum coming in and sending them upstairs to get into their pyjamas though.  Some things never change!
