Using Skype for computer-to-computer talk

I tried computer-to-computer talk using Skype today. It was quite easy.

I logged into Skype and I saw that a friend was "online". I sent a message to my friend. He replied.
I asked if he had his headphone and microphone ready. Yes. I telephoned him on Skype, and he replied through his computer.

This process was quite easy and convenient. This is the first type that I used Skype on a computer-to-computer conversation. (Previously, I used SkypeOut to call their mobilephone).

For those who have not tried, it is quite easy. Get a friend to try it with you in Singapore. You can use it later, when you are overseas.
