I have been slow to get on the Skype bandwagon, much to the annoyance of my sister down in Australia, but I am going to have to take the plunge soon. One thing that would make it a lot easier would be a device like the VIVO Voice Key ($60). This little box sits between your plain old telephone and your PC and lets you place and take Skype calls just like ordinary calls. Of course, you have to have a Skype account and install some software from VIVO, but it sounds like it makes calls a lot more like, well, phone calls. There are other skype adaptors out there, but the Voice Key looks pretty promising.
