This podcast about radio stuff makes it sound like they just did something, but I think that change has been with us since 3.5 or maybe even 3.0. I know they did something so that 2.5 only sounds like a phone call over a landline, so I could see it possible for them to disable old versions eventually. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Doug Oliver" <[email protected]> To: "screen access software with skype" <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, November 14, 2009 5:56 PM Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] The Reasoning Behind 41 and SkypeInterphase andfeature changes > Aren't they going to take skype 3.8 off the server soon? > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Doug Lee" <[email protected]> > To: "JardataMailServices" <[email protected]>; "screen > access software with skype" <[email protected]> > Sent: Saturday, November 14, 2009 12:47 PM > Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] The Reasoning Behind 41 and Skype > Interphase andfeature changes > > >>I honestly don't think Skype 4.1 is harder to use, just different. >> Skype 3.8 still works in many places but is no longer supported with >>updates to scripts or Skype itself.
