Title: SKYPE A new way members can communicate
Post by: Minuteman on April 13, 2009, 11:14:13 PM: There is something new out there called SKYPE. What it is is a system where you can set up an account with them and communicate with others who also have a SKYPE account for free. You can also call a friends' cell phone and landline through your computer by use of your SKYPE account. This will involve a fee however, but the recipent doesn't need a SKYPE account.

How it works is you set up an account with any name you want or that you can make up. You can make serveral accounts if you want. You then can add others who have SKYPE accounts to your contact list. Then you can IM them if they are on the computer or you can by use of your headset and call them.(They need a headset and a SKYPE account to verbally communicate with you.)

Minuteman,

Thanks for posting about Skype.
I am not the most computer savy user, so it was interesting to learn about this service and members experiences with it.
