Everyone doesn't have a Mac, not needs one. Skype is a great option for people. I didn't know about the option to pre-record your session and send it to the recipient. Thanks for the comment!

I love Skype, it's free, and it lets my kids talk to their grandparents (who are full time RV'ers and never in one place) wherever they are. You can either Skype chat (text) or video/audio chat. Skype chat can be done when the other party is offline and the message will be delivered when they connect, so that's convenient, too. I use Skype every day to talk for free to tech friends who live in Canada, California, and Washington State (I'm in Ohio).
