For a while, Lapster and I were on different coasts, and one of the biggest challenges was trying to video chat. Long story short – I’m Mac. He’s PC.  We are like Capulets and Montagues. Sharks and Jets. Oscar and Felix.  We are in counseling to work out this critical relationship issue, but for now, our lives are a little bit better because Skype finally has video chat for Mac that works with PC too!

Everyone seems to use Skype, but just in case you haven’t tried it yet. . .Primarily, Skype offers free software that lets you talk by way of the Internet to another Skype user, anywhere in the world, for free. Your computer works as your phone. It has a very easy interface, great sound quality, and lots of fun options and accessories.

So if you have friends cross country – or globally – it is a must have. Download it today!
