[Coco] [CoCo] CoCoTALK will be doing a Afterdark recording

[David Ladd]

There is a more current Linux Native version of Skype.  I have it installed
on my Linux Laptop that is running Ubuntu 16.04LTS.
Skype is normally used just for the group calls as we can have up to 24
video/voice callers on at once.

There are also a lot of us on DiscordApp now as well.  There are
Windows(Intel), Linux(Intel), Mac(Intel), iOS, and Android clients.
This is where we sit some nights just voice chatting and text chatting.
