Skype Help Needed - Basic Questions
Anyone use Skype?
I used it in London, but on a laptop where it was already set up. I'm trying to set it up on the 'rents' PC - with their approval - and it is driving me batshit insane. The direction in Help tell me to click certain buttons under certain options without telling me where those options are! I am at the very beginning here. All I want to do is find my way to the Directory and Add Contacts. I'm certainly no technophobe, but I can't find a logical route through the Help topics and I can't find anything resembling the answers given in said topics either. It's as bad as eBay! Oh and if you do you are welcome to have my Skype details. We're getting a webcam and mike this week too  But in the mean time I'll be able to use the instant messaging. If'n I can ever work out how.

Thanks chick.
I KNEW I was missing something obvious. What a plum. While you're here - does having silicone muffin pans mean you don't need to use paper cases? |

Well, the paper ones were good enough as they were, IMHO, silly cones.
Sorry, had to get it out of me.
