I only have 3 friends with whom I communicate on Skype (2 of them very, very rare). So, the one I talk to frequently, I will have to teach Hangouts (the Google product). I have used Hangouts a little and it seems to be ok. The challenge will be to teach the friend (or encourage her to learn on her own). She is absolutely not techie (she is a doctor). But one of her sons is a developer; so hopefully he will teach her.
Unless I figure how to start the Skype.
