I just downloaded Skype<\/a> after hearing about it on numerous blogs and podcasts. My user ID is wintermute2_0, in case you want to reach me. I don’t know any Skype users; I’m just trying to keep up with the cool kids. Which reminds me that I still need to track down a Gmail invite.

I want to see how the voice quality compares to a regular telephone line. I’m anxiously waiting for internet telephony to take off. Here are some features I want. I want caller ID to pop up on my computer and television when someone calls. I want to access and manipulate voicemail with my PC. I want 911 service.
