wow...well I think you got a point there...being a New Designer doesn't mean that being an Old one is bad or viceversa it just means you like looking at things one way or doing what you like the way you like to do it. Being one type of designer doesn't mean you can't turn into the other one without even noticing and go back whenever you want to. I think it's good that you have made clear, in this article or the other, that without the new techonologies there is no place for you in design cause it's the truth even you consider yourself of one or the other type of designers. Very nice articles, very good writer.

Yes! Skype is a GREAT tool for freelancing and online collaboration!

Another benefit of skype is it's cross-platform compatibility

very, very true - great points!
