British phone booth updated with Skype

DSC04311.jpgProf. Michael Shaughnessy (previously) has equipped an old British phone booth with Skype, so that his international students may use it to call friends throughout the world. The iPad 2 used can also do videochat, too: "I had a blast converting it. It serves a good function as our students use our international unlimited account a lot to call home, and now they have a bit more privacy. I was just lucky to find this local guy with a 'Red Box' booth, which is about 40-50 years old. … A perfect addition to our language lab, I think."
