Skype Me Baby One More Time

This semester I've downloaded Skype but used it very infrequently. I understand the power it has behind it, but I haven't had the need to really use it. My family lives in Pennsylvania and I've talked to my grandmother and aunts using Skype a few times, but it's awkward, hard to hear, and we like to just talk on the phone. Also, my brother lives in Florida, and we keep in touch (sometimes) using Skype. It's not my favorite medium for communication, since I'm usually on the go, but it surely serves a purpose as a tool for many to use.
