Something to remember about Skype - where their servers are!

When Sarah and I went to Paris last year to see a gallery an old friend of 
mine was invited to show his stuff in (see http://www.dream-dollars.com/ 
for 
some really incredible work!), I took the laptop and Skype onboard with my 
bluetooth earpiece.  Still having trouble breathing after seeing what 
internet access from the room cost - 25Euros a day! - so I went to the 
lobby, from which it was free. [shaking head]  When I 'called' my friend 
who 
was staying in the Latin Quarter he told me there was a 'wicked echo' that 
made it nearly impossible to use, so we stuck to mobile phones for the 
three 
days we were there.  I thought later about Where's The Signal Going? and 
realized the path was Paris->London->USA->Paris.  No wonder!  Later my 
friend told me that it sounded like a L-R stereo mix with one of the 
channels Dry and the other a delayed, flanged reverb.  And I thought 
singing 
the National Anthem at a ball park was daunting!

But it did make me briefly wonder about how such a delay might be used for 
looping.  Guerrilla Loops!  Not for everyone.
