My  Italian cousin who now lives in London has been nagging me to get on Skype.com.  Have you heard of it?  I had no idea what she was talking about so I brushed her off.  But now that I have my new Mac I decided to check it out and I have to say it’s the coolest. 

It takes a second to download and there you go, you can talk to whoever you want via your computer for free (it’s even better if you have a camera hookup) So if you have friends or family who live out of town you should look into it.
