Anyone using Skype?

Hee hee - Sara!

I use my laptop at work, and it has a built in microphone which works well.
However I do have a headset, that has microphone that is attached to it, and that is fantastic!!!

stand alone Microphones are not that expensive for the PC, but with a headset, you can chat without waking anyone, and also hear much better. They simply plug into your PC - usually they have 2 connections - one for the headset, and the other for the microphone.

Let us know, I would love to "chat"

Nicole and Captain, have you been in touch on Skype yet? I'll look you up.

I'm just about to get a few friends here to join.

Only to use IM though.

my mom uses it to chat with her parents in Finland, apperntly that is a common way of communication over there according to my grandparents.

I think a Danish and Swedish guy invented it. It's getting really big!

I was really surprised at the amount of people on this thread who had never heard of Skype until I realised it was from more than two years ago!

Now that every other chat program seems to have stopped working for me, I will look into it. Yes, Randi, I promise!

We used it last year when we traveled to China. It worked great, especially when we added a headset with a microphone.

I use it. I wish more people did! I don't understand how you can NOT use it. It's a free phone service basically! I have a macbook with built in microphone and camera so it's incredibly easy. My step-dad is in Japan right now and we're in the US so we talk to him most nights (mornings for him) with the camera and microphone.
I'm slytherinquoll on skype.

I was over at my SIL's last night for dinner and after we finished dessert, my SIL fired up Skype and we literally chatted with my niece who is now in India. It was the coolest thing and I don't know why I waited so long to get on board. When I got home I was so excited that I created myself and account.
