Get a free home phone from Lycos
This has to be the coolest new service I've heard of in a while. Lycos is offering a free home phone number that you can answer on your computer. This is awesome. This means that when you finally cut the wires and ditch your home phone and go with broadband and cellphones as your only methods of contact, you can supply this phone number as a number of record on credit applications, etc. I assume this is similar to Skype and whatnot (having never used Skype, I have no idea what it is like) but I know that this one can be called from any phone.
