If she has to install a plug in, she may not be able to do it on a
computer cafe system. She says that the computer does not have Firefox,
so it would have to work with Internet Explorer. I have no experience
with Explorer and don't want any. Do you think that she will be able to
run it?

There was a new version of Skype in the upgrades that won't work on my
system. If she starts her webcam, then her picture breaks up and Skype
crashes on my system. Ubuntu 12.04 with Skype 4. The old one worked
fine. Skype then loses all of it's settings.
Remember, she can't install anything on her computer cafe computer. What
do I do? PIdgin doesn't work wiith a lot of messenger services.
Have you tried g-mail video chat? I've found that to work pretty well on
most of the Linux systems I've used it on.
