Discussion Topic: Jesse Anderson And E3 Talk
We have already covered the big developer events from Google, Microsoft and Apple. However, for Joe and Jesse, the annual E3 videogame conference rates right up there with those other tech summits. The duo summarizes some of the access angles they found from Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo. Here are some of the links and stories that contributed to their conversation.

Tip: Classic Skype
Coke and Skype have something in common. No one was thrilled with the new version and many prefer the classic editions instead. Thanks to long time BBQ listener Rebecca Skipper, and J.J. s Google searching skills, you too can revisit the Skype of yesteryear.
From Rebecca's email...
"Hi,
you can download the classic version of skype by going to https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/.
Then, go to the Select from list to download skype from another platform tab and press space.
Arrow down to classic skype and press enter.This should download the previous version of skype."
We reach the magical number of 150 traditional fun size episodes next week. Expect the unexpected!
