Skype

I installed Skype on my PC yesterday. I don't intend to use it. I'm just curious to see what it is like.

The first call to a fixed phone or a cell phone is free so I tried to call my cell phone to check how it goes.
Hmm... there is time lag. It's like a televised satellite link. Is it usual Skype? Or I wonder if it's due to my PC's spec.

On Skype, you can exchange not only voice but also image (video) by webcam, right? In case of talking on the phone, even if I wear no makeup, have rough hair or am in my underwear, it's no problem. But Skype... I don't use it for now.
