I think we sometimes forget just how far we've come in the last 40 years. The to-be Rivetess called me in Malta when I was doing one of the month stints there. 3 mins. Her entire week's wages.
In 1990, we spent 79 Quid on a row across the Atlantic.
I love Skype, but I think it might be better to pay a nominal charge and get a solid service. With 20 million people on line at any one time, a cent a minute would give them substantial funds to put into more kit - it has to be better than getting
all. Even on my meager pension, I for one would think that was a bargain.
Sometimes, things that are too good to be true, really are.
