No, I’m not making some sort of angry retort. I’m just alerting you to an internet-based phone service that uses your computer. All you need is a microphone/headset and you’re ready to Skype. You can download and set up a free account for use with other Skype account holders. If you want to call people from your computer outside the internet (regular phone line) you have to pay, but it’s not expensive.

I got started on this since it’s the preferred way Robert French (InfOpinions & PR Quest) makes phone calls to conduct interviews for his podcasts. I’m being interviewed by him tomorrow afternoon.

So I’ve got a Skype account now and you can Skype me at “agwired.” As I get more familiar with the service I’ll let you know how well it works.
