(We might be able to rig up an alternative method, e.g. I could host a TeamViewer meeting but would have to check Snow Leopard client compatibility; I doubt Don has FaceTime either as it wasn’t included in Snow Leopard - it was available from App Store back then but might not be now because it built into later OS versions.)

It would be free to those attending the meeting remotely, apart from any associated data costs.

This might work as a means of having a remote presenter (with an assistant attending the meeting), but I think we’d need better microphone setup at the meeting venue as I couldn’t hear audience questions (Graeme repeated them), and the laptop camera only gave me a partial view of the audience.
