I don't like Skype because the screen share and such is clumsy. We use 
that only for personal stuff. The more professional services allow nice 
document sharing and people can give others or all participants mouse 
control. That is really handy for layouts. I never do those but I 
sometimes take over the really nasty RF stuff or high-current switcher 
nodes. Then I am moving stuff around and the PC sits 2000mi away.

My SUV clocks in at about 1200mi/year. About half of that for business 
but with a declining trend. Between my bicycles I am now at more than 
4000mi/year and I need a constant supply of rear tires, chains, 
cassettes, brake pads and so on. Last time I had to buy brake pads for 
the car was ... ahm ... I never had to!
