Good grief, if I were only getting 60% or 80% of the message I'd take myself back to the computer industry. I know there are terps out there who do work at that level, but I find it astonishing. I usually get 90-95% of the message in a one-on-one situation. It's a little harder in VRS because people often have a bad connection, sit far away, are lit poorly, and don't know how to use the focus knob. I would say it's about 75-80% on VRS for me, but not due to MY skills. When somebody is on a VP-200 with a good connection and good lighting, etc. it's just like being in the room with them.
