New technology

Checked out Skype which lets you make calls from your computer and looks like it is a type of mobile phone. Looks like an alternative to Telecom and effectively yet another bill to pay for. They talk about free skype to skype calls, but lets face it I don't know anyone that has it and am not likely to look at this again.

Free video calls would be great to talk to friends overseas but my computer is so slow and we only have dial up in our street so it probably would time out before it downloaded
