I had bookmarked a page on Skype use several years ago and ran across it today. Reading the page, I found this very interesting if not amusing. Snipped the first graf, boldfaced the line of interest:
It would be fun to see other prescient posts like this one re-posted whenever any of us runs across them.

Now, the real use of Skype:
One day my professor went off on this guy because his cell phone rang in class. Yeah, it's rude, but this teacher overly flipped out. So I went to www.facebook.com (it's a way to find people in college) and got the cell phone numbers for a bunch of people in class and used Skype to conference call them. When Skype calls you the caller ID shows up as "01234567890" so everybody answered. 6 people went "hello? hello?" at the same time. It got better when they realized they were talking to each other. Classic.
