Skype.com

I love to come across new tech developments and new programs, particularly the ones that let you do communication on the net...I recently was introduced to one of these programs by Becky (yet another plus to dating the best looking techie I have ever known ;). Skype is a program that is becoming a larger and larger thorn in the side of the major telecommunications companies (like AT&T and Sprint) because you can talk for free over the internet (computer to computer) and for pennies for computer to phone. I have tried both and the first thing I noticed was the marked quality in sound and the complete lack of delay in conversation. I have tried other internet voice chatting programs but this one not only has the highest quality sound but also there is no delay in the relay of conversation. I have not tried the international computer to computer so I can not speak to the capabilities there, but if the national is any indication I am sure that it is a step above the rest.
