There is a new chat program out.

Skype is the next phenomenon from the people who brought you KaZaA. Just like KaZaA, Skype uses P2P (peer-to-peer) technology to connect you to other users – not to share files this time, but to talk for free with your friends.

Its a great program. So far, i know that Chruser, mantralord, and i have it. Go get it and give us a ring sometime.

This free program can be downloaded at www.skype.com

You need a mic and an internet connection, that is all. You can still connect if you do not have a mic, but you just cant talk (obviously)

Well, unlike Kazaa, this doesn't come with any "free and great deals and spyware". It works exceptionally well, almost too well actually. I had a better-than-phone quality conversation with Sov, and he's on 56k plus that he's in the US and I'm in Sweden. Oh, and of course, the fact that it's free makes it even better. Just add my user (Zelaron) if you need someone to talk to. :P

Hey, that sounds good, just like KaZaA!!!

It sounds so good, just like KaZaA, that it might also unleash a virus like it already has done to my computer. Oh cruel fate, why must I live in a world where people are so easily seduced by shiny objects?

I recently installed a new hard drive. It is the only hard drive I have in my computer. I am using on-board sound (Leadtek nForce2). My speakers work fine, and they always have.

My microphone worked before I got the new hard drive, but it does not work now. There may be a short in the actual microphone, but I'm not sure. If it is not the microphone, what do I need to do?

So, no problems? Hmm... I will wait a little longer and see what posts come up before I download it and you can all hear my pathetic little annoying voice.

Ehrm, does it matter that I don't have Windows 2000 or XP? I only have Windows 98 right now. One of the requirements is Windows 2000 or XP. x.x

Sovereign

Give it a try. It may work it may not work. Worst comes to worst just delete it.

Jessifer
2003-11-12, 01:59 PM
Okie Dokie, then. I'm off to DL it.

Hell, if worse comes to worse, I'll just re-install XP.

And to answer hades. I think its only a 2 person thing. It uses p2p tech, so im asuming it will only work for 2 people. You can use it in a game as far as i know, because the mic is always on.

My username is Jessifer. So, yeah. It works. I spoke to Chruser. I could hear him, but he couldn't hear me. Must tinker with my microphone.
