    Can any of those Skype proponents explain why the website home page seems to have a concurrent load of about 1 Megabyte? Is this p2p hacking use of my bandwidth?

    SkypeOut's rate compared to the cheapest to a certain destination: 40p v 4p

    I have used Skype for the free PC to Pc connection with no problems but as Ebay have just bought it no doubt it will soon turn into an expensive , unreliable and probably spyware riddled service !

    I've tried Skype Hype several times since they launched, however I prefer to use MSN messenger for IM, and a real VoIP service for phone calls, with the ATA I don't have to have the PC switched on to make and receive calls.
    It's PAC not PAC Code, it's MAC not MAC Code, it's PIN not PIN Number, it's ATM not ATM Machine, it's LCD not LCD Display, it's DVD not DVD disc... It's no one not noone, It's a lot not alot, It's got not gotten... Panini is the plural of panino - there is no S!!
    (OK my English isn't great, the sciences, maths & IT are my strong points!)
