OK. This makes no sense to me. So I'd have to pay for skype to get it to start up in a layout that actually makes sense? How much would that cost? I hate that html thing, and I think it's ridiculous that I can't have a different layout, especially at startup. If you could please clerify this a bit further, I would really appreciate it. Missy
