Think of your contacts in Outlook Express or Outlook. You can use that list of contacts to easily initiate an email message. Skype works in much the same way, except that the contacts that you add are other Skype users. Contacts can also be any telephone number that you want to add. Or, you can enter it manually. So, when Skype opens, I simply type a 10 digit phone number and in seconds, the call is connected. I could also tab over to my list of Skype contacts, use the arrow keys to peruse the list, and press enter on the person's name that I am trying to call. -----Original Message----- From: real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kimberly A.

Any of those calls are completely free. And, you certainly need a microphone or preferably a microphone headset combination with your computer. But you can also use Skype to call from your PC to any phone in the world. And, did I mention that unlimited calling to the US and Canada only costs $14.95 for one year of unlimited calling? =3D3D20 -----Original Message----- From: real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:real-eyes-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Kimberly Morrow, PhD.
