Default Skype

Not sure if this should go under the computer section since this isn't a question. Just wanted to sing the praises of Skype. This is a VoIP phone that you use through your computer. For the first time today we talked to our son in Iraq and his wife in Washington state -- both at the same time. Wonderful! Just like they were in the room with us. We just used a microphone and the speakers on the computer so both my husband and I could participate. They both use head sets. What a fantastic thing for those of us who have family in either Iraq or Afghanistan.
