Skype is a free software that can be downloaded onto your PC and lets you make free voice-over-ip (VOIP) calls to other people using Skype. Well that’s only half the picture, until now they also offered a SkypeOut service which let you make calls from your PC to any regular phone number for a fee. That fee has just dissapeared!

Yes. It is really very, very free. There’s no prepayment, no minimum use, no subscription, no monthly fee, no nothing. You just download and install Skype and then you start calling. Both the caller and the number called must be in either the US or Canada. There are no strings attached.

This is only good until end of 2006 so at least give it a shot before then. Again all you need to do is:
- Hook up a microphone and speakers to your PC. If you’re on a laptop, you just need a mic
- Then just download the Skype 2.0 free software and install it.
- Create an account using the software, login and start making free calls to US or Canada within seconds!

Post any questions or problems you have setting it up and I’ll try to help.

A bunch of the major theatres are offering free G and PG movies this summer. Most are during the day, but it’s not bad for free – especially when you want to take the whole family and not burn a hole in your wallet.

These things have not just replaced floppy disks but gone way beyond. I still remember having to carry around a disk that only held about 1.44MB of data. Now you can buy this handy flash drive which will store about 2000 times that much data and it’s smaller than a floppy disk to boot.

I highly recommend everyone who doesn’t have one picking one up as soon as possible, they are extremely handy in this digital age and Newegg.com is an excellent online store to purchase from. I’ve bought many things from them in the past and they are probably one of the best places to buy tech stuff online.

Go get it now while the stock lasts!
