David, It all depends on what you intend to use the program for. If it's just live voice chat, then you'll be fine. But the text chat is a bit of a headache. They do have up to date scripts for Skype 4.0 written by Doug Lee. I'm using Skype 4.0 with the current scripts and it's working fine. But when it comes to text live chat, I'll stick with MSN. Skype is more trouble than it's worth. Here's the link to the Skype scripts page. There's lots of documentation about the script revisions. Jack

Some folks are saying it's a night mare, where others are touting it's virtues. I am thinking that more opinions are in order before I subject myself to the inconvenience of trying out something that might not work very well.
