We used to use Skype a lot to see and talk to the grandkids out of state. Our daughter suggested getting an iPad and using the app called Facetime. I ordered a refurbished iPad from Apple (with a 1 year warranty) and we have truly enjoyed it. Facetime does seem to work better than Skype, and with the huge number of people with iOS Apple-based devices (tablets, PCs, laptops, phones) an iPad with Facetime might be a consideration.
Vista finally evolved into Windows 7. If you want to move to a more up-to-date PC, but do not want to move into the Windows 8 or 10 zone, you can get a warrantied refurbished PC with Windows 7, bigger hard drive and more RAM without spending a fortune. You can even get them from a Dell certified refurbisher that will provide a 1 year warranty. If you could use Vista you will like Windows 7. Windows 7 is better and easy to use.
