It's a cool program that makes AIM look like crap. Seriously. go to skype.com, download it for the OS of your choice, and add me (chsinmate) to your contacts list. Skype is awesome because it's actual TALKING, not typing, much as you would over the phone. But it's better than the phone, for you can have several people talking at once. Just plain awesome... the AIM replacment you and your friends have been looking for.
