Don't know what I'll do with it yet, I only installed Skype on
Wednesday night and, so far, made one test phone call and
another to McP in Vancouver to see what the quality was like.
A transatlantic call at no charge . . . great !

Haven't tried the "chat" bit yet, presumably it's similar to MSN ?

Should this be another scs list ? The Skivers of scs
Ooops sorry, I meant "The Skypers of scs"

I bought a "cheapo" (Trust make) on e-Bay. If it works out that
I'm using the thing, I'll buy a better quality one.
