The b est thing about skype is that it allows you to make calls to land lines and mobiles.....from your PC.

Totally without experience in this shjiet ... :-)

Hi Everyone,
I would love to get Skype, But i have a couple of questions.
1) Is anyone using it with windows 98?
2) As Ken asked whats it like on dial up?
3) My PC won't recognise when I plug ina microphone. Any suggestions?

TIA

Andy

It says in the blurb on their page that it is for Windows 2000 and XP only. also says good for broadband and may have some troubles with XYZ which I assume is dialup.

Just signed up as briank1960 - but it was such a good year :-)

Time permitting, over my day off I'll be updating my list with the latest names. You will need to approve me before I'll be able to chat. Feel free to call and chat when I'm on. (I only open it when I am available to talk)

I tried to add commandpost as a contact and it came up blank

Dave I added everyone to my contact list but they are all "awaiting authorisation". How does this happen do you know? I looked through all the skype propaganda on their site but couldn't see the answer anywhere.

I know it works as I spoke to David Brown last night and now he shows up OK - so I am wondering whether it just means "Ring and if they answer then you are authorised."

Brian

Howdy all,
Sykpe is great!! Use it alot to talk to family back in New Zealand.
Anyways,you can add me to the list.My callsign is: kiwibelg.
Cheers,Shay

OK.... I have managed to update with what I believe is everyone so far.

Lord Kiwi, I use Windows98 and the download and the test call worked for me. As someone mentioned the description page says Windows 2000, but at least for now, it appears I'm good to go with Windows 98.

Steve

Thats good news Steve, Now to see if I can get this mircophone sorted

I have Skype,my name is TankCarl
BUT I cant load anyof you into my contacts.

Hi ,
If you want to contact me over the weekends I am usually available on Richier 's computer ,so give us a call.
Love Jenny.
P.S. You may want to talk to Richie too since it is his computer & he is a member too . Can you get a double adapter thing so we can both talk ??

Jenny what is Richie's "name" on Skype?

Or am I having a blonde moment and didn't see it?

Jim

O.K. I just joined Vadster

Added you Alex.....

Just got myself set up on it. Just don’t really know what I’m doing yet.

I don't have a mic yet so i can only talk by typing for now. (At lest I think I can. Haven’t tried yet :-) )

You can try talking to me any time I’m on.
