Skype is not a scam- it really is free and it really does work- you can see the person you're talking to. There are, however, a few niggling issues:
1. Connection quality does depend on the connection at both ends so, if one of you has a bad connection, it may not work. As another stated, often a disconnect/reconnect will help, but not always. It also sometimes helps to turn off the video, but it still seems like the more important the call, the poorer the connection. Some days you just eventually give up.
2. Video only works in a two-way conversation. Conference calls are handy, but you lose the video.
3. Each of you can see the other one in real time, so you have to keep that in mind. No picking of the nose or making faces while talking! I'm reminded of a scene from the old Jetsons TV show where Mrs. Jetson received a call early in the morning before she was made up for the day. Hair in curlers, bags under the eyes, etc. She used some sort of mask to take the call!
Don't let those few caveats turn you away- give it a try- it's free so there's nothing to lose. I've been using it for about three years and I've never received any solicitations related to Skype.

I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
