Ac ouple of sites that I know of are through Dialpad.com, Phonefree.com (I believe that's it) and there is something on Yahoo. Of course, you would need a microphone to begin with but they are reasonable to get. I prefer using a headset just so others around cannot hear what is being said by the other person speaking back to me. I'm sure there are other sites that may do the same things. One search engine that I have found to be of great help is (www.dogpile.com) <A HREF="http://www.dogpile.com/">Dogpile</A>. You just type in what you are looking for ( a specific town or cemetery, for instance) and click on the work "fetch". It'll give you MANY other sites to check out. It searches many search engines. One other thing, it would be of great help (to me, at least) if when you all reply to a message, please cut out any of the repeat messages that usually trail underneaath. I'm doing an awful lot of scrolling when I generally have only 10-15 minutes to get through my mail. I am in the middle of tax season with H&R Block and my free time is very limited. I do understand that we need to have some of those on there so that we know what we are replying to--I'm all for that--but cutting out what we can is certainly appreciated! That's it for now.

This is also a great suggestion. Teh only catch is, in order fro one person to be able to call another - they *both* have to have the proper set-up. But other than that, it's pretty cool, really.
