One-to-one mic conversation (Wishlist)
One-to-one mic conversation // Wishlistfredrik and joakim staiDec 27, 1998, 5:09pm
Just an idea a friend told me a few days ago... One-to-one mic
conversation. I guess it would be best to make it so that you right- click an online friend's avatar or name on the contact list and select i.e. "1-2-1 conversation". Then that friend will get a question, just like the join confirmation- stuff, and if he/she accepts an 1-2-1 conversation, a new tiny window where mic quality etc. is displayed while they talk. To end the conversation, one of the users can just press a button in that window. Guess it's a bit to hard for Roland to add that function, but it would be fun if it was implemented into AW. Maybe also with an invisible option, where the tiny window is hidden. You can stand in GZ and talk to a friend, in real-time and with real voices. I like the idea!

its a good idea, but only if you have a fast computer and modem.
Like me, p75, 14.4 modem (probobly 2-4 times slower than most), it is slow now, and with a mic, it wouldn't evan function, usably. Like, i can't get Real Audio now, let alone with AW running. But, if you can get it so you can set it off, for some people, it won't be that bad. Rating of the idea: 4/10 cheese -- -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Check out my homepage, it is chocked full of awesome graphics! http://thecheese.home.ml.org Maybe check out my town in AW!

Yes... I know there are always some (maybe even alot) who got a slow modem.
Even if many got ISDN, some cable, there are always some with a slow modem. That's life...! But more and more get faster connection to the net today... Soon we'll be having video-conversations in AW as well... (c; Actually a friend of mine, who runs a large company, once talked to ENZO about video conversation in AW. He needed it to provide meetings with his associates around the world. At that time, ENZO said it would be easy to implement into AW! All he needed was some money for doing it! I think they are capable of lots more than they want us to know... They just need more money, or may I just say money...
