Skype is not a scam- it really is free and it really does work- you can see the person you're talking to. There are, however, a few niggling issues:

1. Connection quality does depend on the connection at both ends so, if one of you has a bad connection, it may not work. As another stated, often a disconnect/reconnect will help, but not always. It also sometimes helps to turn off the video, but it still seems like the more important the call, the poorer the connection. Some days you just eventually give up.

2. Video only works in a two-way conversation. Conference calls are handy, but you lose the video.

3. Each of you can see the other one in real time, so you have to keep that in mind. No picking of the nose or making faces while talking! I'm reminded of a scene from the old Jetsons TV show where Mrs. Jetson received a call early in the morning before she was made up for the day. Hair in curlers, bags under the eyes, etc. She used some sort of mask to take the call!

Don't let those few caveats turn you away- give it a try- it's free so there's nothing to lose. I've been using it for about three years and I've never received any solicitations related to Skype.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
