Skype

I had my first grizzle with Skype this week. It's been running fine on the Powerbook for the last six months, but I updated to the new version (1.4.0.35) and there seemed to be a HUGE delay in the conversations. Up to seven seconds. That hardly helps when you're having some big discussion about something or another. I thought it might be network trouble, and the Skype forums seem to have a set 5-point answer to any delay/echo problems (too big to list here).

So, I figured that the problem only started with the new version. Therefore I reverted to the previous version and all is good. Bit of a mystery.
