Re: [xmca] elluminators please illuminate!

Well, working Pittsburgh-Spain-Colombia the only problem was some  
feedback and disconnections in the audio. And watching a video led to  
synchronization issues, since it was downloading at different speeds  
for different people. I suspect the feedback could be avoided by  
everyone wearing headphones, or at least turning off their loud- 
speaker when someone else is talking. But as a way of organizing long- 
distance multi-person, multi-media interaction I'd say it's pretty  
effective. However, staring at a small window on the screen is no  
substitute for sitting around the table in person, imho.
