SKYPE is very good.
A couple days ago, I mentioned "SKYPE" in this blog. I installed SKYPE software yesterday. Today, I made my ID and Password and bought SKYPE credit at their homepage. With this credit, I can buy their services and content. One unit is 10.00 euro (about C$14.33 or 1468JPY), I can make almost 10 hours of calling from Canada to ordinary phones in Japan. Then I tryed to make a phone call to my mother in Japan. I didn't get any special tools or phones for this. I used external PC speakers and a normal PC desktop microphone. It worked well, easy, convenient, inexpensive and lots of fun! Now SKYPE is our standard. Next, I want to have a webcam!
