  Wavigo is Skype done right and honorable way!
  I have been using Wavigo now for several months and I am using it to connect to my mom in Europe and with my friends. She is on dial up and the voice quality is awesome! I had to get rid of Skype, after I have found out why my computer runs so slow and I had to manually remove all of the still active processes. It will not take long time when others will realize, this Skype is taking advantage of them. They are making $$$ on these poor users, who are so clueless just as I was. I feel I was invaded by this company Skype. It was very hard to get rid of them….sort of like parasite. Once you have it, it’s hard to get rid of !!!
  I wish those people writing about Skype would have good knowledge of Skype’s technology and would inform readers much better and in full truth! It is sneaky of Skype to give free tech just so they can get you, because many users have limitated technology knowledge, and the only one benefiting is Skype. They use computer resources of their users for others …how LOW!!!! No wonder Skype went out their way to promote “sharing is good” which is more like brainwash, so they can make $$$. Now that is my story….I USE WAVIGO it is done RIGHT!

  Good Morning Bill
  Thirty years ago we were certain that the world was round as we grew our life and family. Then communication accelerated as well as travel and we were less certain that our view of the world was all that accurate.

  Then computers came along and we thought in terms of our own personal round world and it was good again, word processing, pac-man, Sim City, Flight Center and more.

  But then along came the internet and we discovered our world was not so round again that there were other personal round worlds that wanted to connect and change our roundness.
  
  Then along came ICQ and we discoverd that not only was our world not only flat and rapidly changing but that the rest of the world was actually living next door.

  Then along came high bandwidth and those neighbours that lived next door were now able to come and join me in my house.

  The world not only turned out be flat but that flatness has changed me and for the better.
  Thanks for the conversations.

  Bill, checking in from Mumbai, India ... I introduced Skype to two of my clients in the US, and several friends in the UK, the US and Australia. Just yesterday I spoke with a cousin in Vancouver who was telling me how much she loves it, and how she got a friend in England to download it and how they talk for hours and hours, something they didn't do for over 20 years !

  Developing world leapfrogging the 'developed' world :). The world IS flat, and getting smaller too.
