Maybe someday I’ll learn my way around a computer, but I’m already using very cheap LD rates (cheaper than Skype) as it is. So since I’m not spending A LOT of money on long distance calls, it’s impossible to save A LOT of money.

Seriously though, VoIP is a long way from being this revolutionary idea unless someone comes up with this mind boggling twist on it. It's been around for years and it's not picking up steam as quickly as some may think. Although if you knew your way with a computer, Skype can save you A LOT of money on long distance calls.
