Does anyone on the list know how or if the new skype works with

I will be sure to download and install the latest version of
Skype from
skype.com, and will also get the Jaws scripts from
http://www.dlee.org/skype
If there's a better URL for more up-to-date Skype scripts,
please
send it my
way.
Thanks!

Tom,
OIf it was a number of years ago, as mine was, then it just
won't
work. =
Skype has discontinued supporting older versions. I think my
version = was
6.1. =20
Jaws 16 has scripts in for the latest version of Skype.

Ok, Phil.
That's what I'll do then as well.
Not sure what version is on this machine, since it used to be my
XYL's
computer, and wee used it a number of years ago to talk to the
grandkids
when they were in Missouri.

Tom,
I never paid much attention to the current version. I just went
to
skype.com and hit download and it updated my older version.

Can you tell me what the newest version of SKYPE is that you
are

using?
I really need to get up and running on Skype for both personal
and
professional reasons.
It's going to be one of the things on my "to do" list this

the
college teaching year is over.

Steve and others,
Apparently my skype was no longer auto updating but I sure
like
the =
look=20
and
feel and features of this newer skype. One thing I failed to
mention
=
when
telling everyone about my camera experience with my nephew
overseas is
=
about
the sound quality. My nephew has always been a little
scratchy
=
sounding=20
and
the lag time has been uncomfortable to use. Last night, using
my =
iPhone,
the quality of the audio was better than cell phone to cell
phone and
=
that
was with the cameras running. I've also always liked the echo
feature
=
to
test your microphone when using skype. My little 20 dollar
radio =
shack
desktop microphone I've had for years and years was dead when
I
tested
=
it.
I put in a couple of new tripple A batteries, ran the audio
check echo
=
on
skype and it worked fine. Then our dogs started barking and
when the
=
test
cut off and replayed itself, the dogs heard themselves barking
and =
cranked
up even louder; thinking we had new dogs in the house. I've
heard a =
lot=20
of
ham rag chew round tables with skype video chat groups going
as
they =
talk=20
on
the air so they can see each other, too. I knew a bunch of
blind hams
=
would
appreciate that bit of information and run right out to get a
camera.
Phil.
