Free Long Distance

As a lover of free things, I bring to you Skype. According to the Skype website, "Skype is a little program for making free calls over the internet to anyone else who also has Skype. It’s free and easy to download and use, and works with most computers."

I've installed it and have used it to talk to students studying abroad. You must have a headset/microphone unit or speakers & a microphone to use it. Once the program is downloaded you enter some information to create an account. When your friends create accounts you can call them via the Internet & talk, just like using a phone but no long distance charges. Did I mention it's free? And easy to use?
