So here is my suggestion. You bastards should go and get yourself skype. Then when baby is born, you can, see the baby. This particularly applies to types like Claire, who is also in "Another Country" and wouldnt it rock to be able to talk throught the internets. Also being in American lands you probably have broadband and not gay dial up or some half assed broadband. Ive been listening to the skype hype thing for a while, but what really convinced was the fact that, if you buy a USB phone, and connect using a digital camera (but a good USB 2.0 webcam will suffice) you can can get crystal pictures with a better than phone to phone connection.......for free! Because, its all digital and its all fabulous! And skype itself is free. And you can see my baby, which is any day now..........!!!!!!!! Actually if it wasnt for baby I would just suggest the USB phone, because, really, video conferencing still creeps me out a little......
Also another suggestion. For those of you who live in the technologically impoverished NZ, at least in terms of cellular phones and internetness, send me your phone numbers, with area code. I can ring you and talk to you for an hour for barely a dollar at home. Do it!!!! I believe some of you may be flatting together so that would make it even easier.
thanks for listening

So there already....as are some of the others. Use my clairenz email address and you shall find me!!!
how do I call NZ for not much!?
e.
You download and install skype. Its free. Then you go to an electric store and you buy a USB phone and connect it to your computer. These are good. Then you buy Skype credit online. minimum is 1500 yen so not so bad. Then, you click on New Zealand and put in the area code without the zero. Then you ring whoever you like in the civilized world, from your computer to their phone for 2 yen a minute. Thats an hours talking for just over a dollar. And its pretty clear too, if you buy a decent microphone (ie buy the USB phone instead of some crappy microphone- its USB so its faster and better than the microphone jacks)
ah. I thought this was some new fangled awesomeness that wasn't skype. My computer is too old. And until I've saved for a new one, it's not the biz.
:(
wa wa waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
