  • I can believe them all besides Om using MAXroam :-)
    Happy New Year Luca
  • 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.
  • 97 posts in a week? Maybe at that point, I need to check into Bloggers Anonymous. :)
  • 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. ;)
  • I really like #20 Luca - gave me a great laugh this morning. Thanks for mentioning me in your list, they were all great fun.

    Kind Regards,
    Rick
  • One other thing Luca
    I would also really like to see Voipgirl back blogging also
  • isnt she away? i haven't seen her active lately.
