I’m trying to get my family and friends to buy headsets and download a program called Skype. It lets you make voice calls over the internet. Skype to Skype calls (computer to computer) are free, so it’d let my family in Canada talk to me without spending a fortune on long distance every time.

I told them about it months ago. Not a single one of them has downloaded it. Nobody bought a headset. Nobody has shown more than cursory interest whenever I mention it. Yet, these are the same people who tell me they never hear from me enough, and wish we could talk more often.

*sigh*
