Dear Eric,
Since Micro$oft purchased Skype the Linux side has become sketchy...
http://www.disruptivetelephony.com/2014/08/why-is-skype-forcing-a-software-upgrade-on-all-of-us-plus-the-community-outrage.html
IMHO, Google Plus (plus.google.com) has a Very Good video conference
platform.
Regards,
Paul

Subject: Does google+ interact with Skypers
Skype doesn't work for me. I have only used it a few times. After
downloading the demanded upgrade and signing in, I could still not get to a
page in which I could call anybody.
I think I need to get it working again or (if an option) remove every trace
of it and use a better and more compatible system of over-internet
face-face calling.
I plan to be at the "adult swim" this afternoon.
Your vacation sounds wonderful. There must have been some rough patches in
walking so far, but you made it - and you must be stronger for it, if not
broken down. Yay!
Eric the unweasel
