What's a SKYPE?

Remember that movie from 1968 that nobody could understand - 2001 A Space Odyssey?

And, at the beginning of the movie where Dr. Floyd takes a shuttle to the moon to investigate strange going's on,

and makes a video call, (his daughter answers)?

Yeah, that was cool.

For the last few years the technology has been available for you to do the same thing right in your very own home!  No, not take a shuttle to the moon to investigate strange goings on,

but you can make video calls.

All you need is a pc, webcam, microphone, and speakers, then you too can make video calls from your computer.  Free!

Or you could possibly even dress in your finest Star Trek gear and re-enact the whole movie in front of your own little camera, on SKYPE. 

The only conflict that may arise is who get's to play HAL...
