Skype’s pretty straightforward. The first question that has to be asked is have you installed it on your computer yet?
I hve had skype for some time and just updated with their latest version. Its like anything new and a bit daunting and use it a couple of times and it becomes second nature. I use the chat feature to converse with a neighbour living and working in Darwin Australia. The usb phone is easy to use also. A webcam can also be used,if needed.
