Skype

Part of the team are away, so I've finally had the house to myself and been able to experiment with Skype (www.skype.com... check it out). Even with the rather flakey internet connections we have, it sort of works. If you get a telephone call from some country code you don't recognise, and the first 4 seconds you don't hear anyone... it might be me. The sound quality is not perfect, but then it is 20 times cheaper than phoning directly, so we have plenty of time to say things twice!
