Well, well.

I've just installed this bunny, and had a nice chat with a friend of mine in London, with a brief conference-call when a mate in Notts joined in. Amusingly, the lightspeed lag is almost imperceptable, and the audio quality is well above that of normal telephony.

http://www.skype.com is your friend, and I'm listed as louisgavin, if anyone fancies giving me a ring. The thought of an absolutely free, high quality Peugeot206cc phonebook is really quite appealing.

Louis,

Skype is a pretty good piece of software. I often chat to mates of mine in Spain. Excellent for international calls as you only pay the cost of your internet connection, which you have to do anyway. (International calls are so expensive, cheers BT)

This kinda stuff has been around for a while, and I hope it catches on now, as it will make all the telephone companies think about overcharging ;-)

You know you can also use Skype as a messager like MSN...

It would be a big help if I had a microphone!

Will get that sorted then will give it a go.
