[extropy-chat] Email is for the old folk now

[Amara D. Angelica]

Wow: "Grognard" -- a zowie new word for me
(http://www.alanemrich.com/Writing_Archive_pages/grognard.htm)! Is this a
great list, or what? OK, I think it's called "loss leader" in the marketing
game. Give away free international phone calls/chats to the 100 million
users worldwide, BUT only between Skypers. Calls to "old timers" (the great
unwashed masses huddled in the musty vaults of non-real-time) are still way
cheaper than old-timer phone companies:

within the US and Canada until the end of 2006. Skype on, Grognard!

Forgive an old Grognard like me, but how the hell do they stay in business
if they don't charge anything?
