Any skype users here?

My siblings want to start using skype. My laptop doesn't have a built-in camera or microphone - can I get those as accessories? Where? Guidance appreciated! (I have a Toshiba satellite L305-S5894)

You could buy accessories absolutely guaranteed to work with Skype from Skype.
http://shop.skype.com

NewEgg is always a great place to order computer stuff.

TigerDirect is pretty good too.

Or you can probably walk into any BestBuy, Radio Shack or even Walmart and find exactly what you need.

You'll probably want a webcam and headset or USB phone that plugs into your USB ports.

2. Thanks so much!

I recently moved and no longer have a 12-yr-old neighbor to help with these things. . .
