Eric,

I used Skype to receive a phone call from a friend traveling in Australia.
It was crystal clear communications. I find I do not need it in the USA,
though. My cell phone has unlimited long distance throughout the USA. So I
have no need for Skype. The disadvantage of Skype and its type of product is
you must be near a hot spot or in some way connected to the internet,
something that is not always easy.

By the way this is off topic. And I was going to complain that there is way
too much off topic stuff coming across on this list. Can the plug powers
make an off topic list for this kind of non Linux posting? Something has to
be done or I will have to drop off the list.

Thanks,
Bill Wesson

Is anyone familiar with skype, it's strengths and weaknesses.
Is it useful?
Are there better alternatives?
