Skype

Who knows about SKYPE??? It is the coolest thing ever and IF YOU WANT TO KEEP IN TOUCH WITH US......YOU BETTER DOWNLOAD IT NOW! We will be freezing our cell phone account while we are in Guam. And with skype, we can talk for FREE! It's like gmail chat and blogger all in one; but even better! I know we have lots of friends and family that read this blog and don't comment who would like to be able to talk to via phone...you know who you are-and this post is for you :)

That's awful, no cell phones!! I guess we will have to make do. Eric says we won't accept it, he also so says to thaw out your phone and start using it again.

Trac - you have to be careful with freeware like this. There are a lot of security concerns. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype

I don't like the fact that it "Assumes a 'blind trust' of anything else speaking Skype" and "No way to know if there is or will be a 'backdoor'". So if a hacker knows how to program in the same language this uses, they can get into your computer and look at whatever files you have in there. They can also mimic your settings and make calls to others pretending to be you. It is not so safe.
