What does SKYPE have to offer ?
Answers: Its a free program that allows you to "call" another computer and visually see and hear the other soul. Its nice for those that have family out of the country and dont want to pay outrageous fees for talking to their loved ones. And you can see them! Just use a webcam.
it is terribly similar to iChat, which is where you hook up a camera and mic to your computer and you can hear and see the person you are "talking" to.
