Shareware is not free software. Its trial-ware. I was referring to completely free software that doesnt need to be bought/pirated to use fully.

awesome program. We use that here at the office for conferences and so the bosses can talk to us when they are working at home. The clarity in the voice is sooooo much better than your basic telephone line. Plus you can make outgoing calls to someone landline at .02/minute. Plus a slew of other features that are being tested. They also sell phones that you hook up via the USB port.

I've never seen the point in calling one of those. They charge like $3/minute just so you can blow your load to a voice that probably doesnt match whats being invisioned in your head. Pictures and videos are so much more convenient and free. :cheeky:

It is much more powerful and can do more than any other audio playback application. It looks very ugly from the start tho, theres millions of tweaks to make it look different, and its also skinnable.

I've always liked the Apple look more than the Windows one, i dont remember the exact link for the windows theme, its somewhere on www.neowin.net
search the forums for "Inspirat". The sidebar is called objectdock.
