Skype

I tried Skype at the hotel, at the first apartment and at the new apartment. The calls have been terrible. I tried it again today with Ann in London and it worked great. No idea why, but if you want to try you can reach me at steve_kranz

I will eventually get the skype account that will allow me to call anywhere in the US. It's only $30 for a year of unlimited calling - a great deal. Unfortunately, I don't have an American credit card and it won't take my Visa from here.
