Skype now available on Linux and Mac
February 3rd, 2005
A while back, my sister in the US told me she was using a telco service called Skype – that didn’t mean too much to me but she forgot to tell me she was calling from her PC, not her telephone. Yesterday I noticed Skype released v1.0 on the Mac (and Linux).
Here’s a good article with the low-down – think IM client but with the ability to dial regular land lines, for as little as 0.017euro per minute, to many countries, including Australia and the U.S.
Well worth using, if only to teach your local incumbent telco a lesson. Of course the big telco’s will bully the hell out of them, it’ll be interesting to see how long they last before being bought out…
