One of the reasons we went to Texas for Thanksgiving is my Mom has a new friend and she wanted us to meet him. He lives in Ireland so talking on the phone is pretty expensive and they were talking about using Skype. I set up my Mom and myself with accounts and we finally tried it out tonight. It worked pretty well after a little tweaking of the microphone and speaker settings. We had a couple temporary freezes but I think that's because her Internet connection is through one of the wireless internet cards. Overall though, I'd give it a thumb's up.

I used it when I was working with a team offshore.

lots of things can mess up the audio, but the price is right.

I haven't used it in along time since I never use up my 600 minutes a month on my cell and I don't know anyone out of the country that I care to talk to.

Closed Mondays.

Allot of my family uses it to talk to our family members in Italy. I have never dealt with it but they love it.

We struggled with the audio too, but once we got it working it worked well.

That locks up too! Especially if you are using Modern Warfare II!
