Skype anyone?
I downloaded the Skype beta after my Windows pal told how cool it was and how our kids would get a kick out of video conferencing with each other. So I downloaded it but it doesn't seems to work. My bud said it was a free service but I get this message:
If you notice it says I need a Skype account and you can see what appears to be a dollar counter mind right on the screen shot.
Is there something wrong here. Anyone else using Skype successfully? I thought I finally found a good use for my built in iCam on my MBP but. . .

I used to use it and Uki is correct. Free it's free Skype to Skype but they charge Skype to phone. You need to know your friends' Skype usernames (Sort of like you do with AIM, Google Talk, MS Messenger or Y! Messenger).

Here is a good test to see how well your ISP supports VOIP:

Computers never do what you want them to do; only what you tell them to do.

Also, just a little thing. It's actually called the iSight, not the iCam.
