Actually I’ve been using Skype since two months after it was released. I use it almost every day at this point. I’m almost always online on Skype somewhere or another. I’m just not always visible. The truth is that Sheryl and I typically have a Skype channel open between us about 6 hours a day.

lol. I am taking it seriously. Anyone joining the “Call the moon” movement. I am thinking to get pat to provide me satellite access with global gateway number and then route the calls off betamax to finally land on moon :-)

doesnt matter if this works or not. I am sure to be seen on CNBC.

You are so right! It’s astonishing.

Just minutes ago I wrote a blog post called “Worldwide free calls through a security breach”. If there were people on the moon, we could probably call them for free with this solution. If only it wasn’t illegal. ;)
