Skype 2.0, now with video calling

Just over a year ago, while I was in Israel, I used Skype to “call” my girlfriend in Canada, for free!

Using my laptop on downtown Jerusalem's free public wireless internet access (it provided at least 20 KBytes/sec), there was no cost at all (aside from my computer ;-)

I just noticed that a new version of Skype was released yesterday.

Skype now does video calling. Note that Skype just went from version 1 to version 2, so it is a major upgrade.
