Last week, I've spent 30 minutes discussing through Skype with a French guy living in Ottawa, Canada.
" Okay, so what ? ", that's probably what you think now. Well, the fact is that we just got re-connected after... 30 years or so. He and I went to the same high school, somewhere in Paris, back in the mid 70's. Since 1979, no more contact, until last week. The strange thing here is that since then, he and I can call on each other by just clicking on a simple button. Even better, he and I can almost see when we're at our computer or not.
I knew Skype helps avoiding distances, I didn't know until last week it also helps shrinking time ;-)
