Don't shoot the Messenger

I've got a new student who likes to study at home. He likes his home comforts, his mug of coffee next to him, feet perched on the coffee table. So how do I manage to teach him? Of course, using Live Messenger (Microsoft Messenger)! A PC to PC call, via a headset, and we're blabbing on like nobody's business...you've gotta love the technology! I even get to teach him in my leather underhosen, feet perched on the table, with my steaming mug of beer beside me. Of course, I always make sure the webcam is switched off...
