I've known about Skype for a while, but my brother's recent move to Barcelona nudged me to sign up finally. Very easy installation (kudos to the design *and* writing team). I experienced a small technical difficulty, but I got fast support with detailed instructions, and all that on a free account.
I used it for the very first time today and got to see my actual brother and niece sitting in their actual living room, what, 5000 miles away. Very exciting. Except that they could just hear me but not see me because I didn't have video on my end.
So this afternoon, I walked into our little town and went to the local Geek Boutique, talked to someone who looked to be about 12, and bought a web cam. It, too, was extraordinarily easy to install and configure. And now I can videocam with my bro to my heart's delight.
Oh, and perhaps at long last, my niece can see the kitties, the real reason to go to all this bother.
