Skype

I just finished using a program called Skype to talk to an old friend that now lives in Japan. The call was free because he was using Skype on his computer also. It is a great way to save money on your regular phone or cell phone. You can call cell phones or regular land line phones at a very low rate. You will need a microphone and earphone to use Skype, so visit about any computer or electronic store to pick these up if you don't have them. You do need a fast connection. I don't think dial up would cut it. Read more and download Skype from here:
