Skype

Skype could be the coolest thing ever. This free program allows you to use your computer like a phone as long as you are connected to the internet. All you need is a mic for your computer, but many newer computers have built in mics and cameras (I love my mac). If both people using Skype have a web camera then they can do a little video conferencing. All in all Skype is fairly reliable and free. What more can you ask. My Skype name is bmgosney. If anyone wants to join find me on Skype and maybe we can talk when I'm in Thailand.
