To be honest, I have three machines and I have 4.1 on the main desktop, 3.8 is still there on my netbook and my other laptop. I can combine the features and learn and adjust to the new Skype with no difficulty or loss in proffitiency. ----- Original Message ----- From: "alex thynne" <[email protected]> To: "screen access software with skype" <skypeenglish at emissives.com> Sent: Sunday, July 12, 2009 12:44 AM Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] Skype for a friend > that would now be the only serious obstacle for me not upgrading to skype > 4.1.
