cheers

thanks for that

3mb update released today.

I have skype up and running O.K. on the older version, if I want to update, will this mess things up, for example, I don't want to lose my credit and log of calls plus do I have to uninstall the old software first.......plus is this new version much better?

Why not ask "support" at skype?
