Skype

has anybody else heard of this great program???
its a voice over ip program that allows you to make telephone calls over the internet for free!!! unless you want to call a land-line, th

this means that all of us can finally talk to each other in real time!
all you have to do is download the program (7.2 mb) at www.skype.com

then you just have to follow the installation and then configuration thingys and you done.

the help program will tell you how to get new contacts, my name is Whichacho type it in and call me!!!

Ya,kind of like ventrilo. Which I already have for CS. (So you can communicate with your team mates easier in games)

I'm sure other people didn't know about it though, so thanks for tellin' em. However, everyone would also have to buy a microphone and install it, so I think people will just stick to IRC. :roll: :wink:

There's not really much "installing" to do with the microphone. You plug it into the jacks on your computer. I doubt this will actually be used via winboloers, but it is good for multitasking, so you don't have to have irc open. Ya, I have Skype, but I don't really use it that much. I never actually use up my cellphone minutes, might as well use that.

i never said that i would be used by winboloers i was just implying that it might be fun to talk to each other as in hear eachothers voices.

a/w dan give me a call sometime, its free and i dont want to spend heaps on international calls.

I meant the program, no the mic. The mic you just plug it in and BAM. :D

Lol. My bad.

the current version of Yahoo messenger has voice chat..... wouldn't that work just as well? Yes I know i couldn't use it as a "phone" but still damn useful. my 2 cents...
