ISn't it just a VOIP thing... maybe with some video glued on? (How hard/easy woold be be to hack out a better one...or do GOOG and YHOO already have their own versions of skyip?) Lastly, a few years ago, somebody on this list said that skype was "free like free beer." Pretty sure they had that saying when i was a kind back in the twelfth century, but still have no ides what it means, so would appreciate it from my fellow geeks who get that 'free-beer' swipe. thanx, gary -- Gary Kline kline@thought.org http://www.thought.org Public Service Unix The 7.98a release of Jottings: http://jottings.thought.org/index.php http://journey.thought.org ethic Ju ST released: http://transfinite.thought.org/17da.html "Where's that bloody .357?!"
