SightSpeed 6

http://www.sightspeed.com/plans/free

Despite the widespread availability of certain communication technologies, sometimes there is no substitute for “being there”. While this application can’t bring people physically closer, it does allow users to make video calls and send video mails to anyone with an email address. Additionally, users can also make computer to computer voice calls, if they are so inclined. This particular version of SightSpeed is compatible with computers running Windows 2000, XP, and Vista or Mac OS X 10.3.9. [KMG]

Even in an era of highly connected and online computers, sometimes one just has to go offline. For people who do choose to occasionally embark into this offline world, this helpful application might just make the transition a bit easier. Essentially, Proxy Offline Browser creates a copy of all webpages visited during any given browsing session and allows users to visit them later while offline.
