I concur John... We speak and view our wayward daughters on Skype and Skype video almost daily. MSN also has those features.

The video isn't great but it is there and it is free. We are trying to get Aunt Katie hooked up next. It really is cool for young kids to be able to see who they are talking to, especially when they are far away and only get to see the person once in a long while. It keeps the picture in the head clear about who they are talking to, and who we are talking about in conversations. John W.
