Turn on Skype

Miss your son at college, or your sister and family who lives in Pinas. Wish you could see them while you talk? skype connect through the INternet, but instead of using a phone to talk, you call and speak into a microphone, and you hear the other person through your computer's speakers. The best part!.......YOu can attach small video cameras to your computers so you can see each other. A basic skype account is free..the only cost is for the equipment a microphone and an "eyeball" video camera. I got both for less than $ 40 total and love it. Check out skype.com
Good if..........you love to talk for long periods of time, and you want to feel like you're right here there with family and friends. But remember, you both need to have the skype equipment and software.
