Skype

Hi guys... I know... two posts in one day!!!

This last week or so, I've been using a program called Skype, and it's been awesome!

It is free to download and use, and it works on Windows or Mac machines. What it does is it allows you to use your internet connection to carry on phone-like conversations over your computer. You "Call", "Hang up" and "Connect" like a phone, but using your mic and speakers on your computer. (although, with some connections, headphones keep nasty echo away.)

It's also neat because it's international. I had a conversation tonight with a Chinese college student, who was in China. Pretty cool.

Here's a link to the windows app.

And the mac app.

If you decide to download and use this program, let me know, and I'll hook you up with my screenname.

Peace.
