way for all of us to chat online

Well, I think this will work and is fairly harmless. It's a program called Skype:

It's a chat program where you can confrence call with up to four of your friends, which I believe would be all of us crew. It's cross-platform (osx, win, linux) and it's free. Now, they have a service where you can call actual landlines and cellys, but that cost some cheddar. Just the straight vox-chatting through the program is free. Er, let's try it maybe? Comeone, I hate typing. Well, not really, but if our DM was doing the character voices n shit, that'd be some good laughs. :)
