@francois, I totally agree with you. I've seen it many times too, people smoking in their cars with kids and babies, pregnant moms smoking. Its just wrong.
I'm a smoker, and coming from me its bad. I could never do that in a closed environment with kiddies around me. People should know their limits.

@ medusa, Skype uses VOIP to connect, so in essence, if there is Skype charges, that goes on top of your bandwidth usage. Now to Skype to another Skype user using your pc or mobile capable of using VOIP would cost you bandwidth. So if you had free internet, you would pay nothing to do that. I have used Googletalk, the Google chat application to phone other Google users. It works really well! Now the other bit, with Skype, when you want to phone from Skype to a land line, then you pay. It is very cheap. Just go read up here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skype#SkypeOut
I hope I got all my facts right!
The SASWITCH fees thing is good. I would have major benefits from me as I am limited to ATMs if I don't want to pay through my teeth.
PS. Enjoy the Party, drink a glass of coke for me...(add whatever your poison!)

As it is i don't even POP my mail any longer, since i practically live inside my email inbox anyway...
Just had to post this, a comment taken from Fin24's site-
Message: "MY bank is not MY friend. MY bank takes MY money. MY bank charges me for taking MY money. MY bank uses MY money to make money for itself, not for me. MY bank charges me for taking MY money back. MY bank charges
me for giving MY money to someone else. MY bank charges me if I want to know where MY money is. MY
bank charges me when I want to know how much of MY money
MY bank holds. MY bank is one of the richest companies in SA because of MY money. MY money doesn't make me rich; MY money makes MY
bank rich. MY bank is not MY friend. I can choose MY friends.
MY friends dont rob me at the end of every month."

@ Francois,
We use Skype weekly, via a flat-rate unlimited broadband connection and yes, it thus costs zilch to 'Skype' someone on a PC in SA or anywhere.
Skype has some great features, ie. 'conference'/ group calling, leaving free sms/text-type messages, etc.
You are correct that there are low rates when using Skype to call landlines.
We installed a webcam with Skype and Mrs Amawanqa's parents have done the same, thus it's great being able to see each other live ( I get along well with her parents), but Mrs A really then 'verlangs' after Skyping her folks, and her old man's gone to get the dog to show her, etc, etc...

Same problem this side, so I have started doing the
http://www.imageshack.us/ thing. Upload your picture there, then they give a code for forums. Copy it, paste it in your post, and Bob's your uncle...you saw my pictures...that was my first time I did that.
Example, I just uploaded a picture. You get a page with all the codes on. I am going to insert the different types of codes to see what it will do in the forum(doing this for me as well, really interested to see what will happen)
