Hi Peter It's just one of those things, a bit like Messenger, that I haven't had the time or inclination to play with. I've meant to do it, but just haven't got round to it (smile). Oh well! better late than never eh?

I have two nieces who would like to communicate with me using this method, but I have never used it before. My Vista laptop appears to have a Skype icon on the Desktop, but I haven't even launched it before. Apologies if this subject has been covered in depth previously. But it is impossible to remember everything when it isn't applicable to you at the time. Many thanks for any suggestions. If you would rather Email me off list then that's fine. Jackie
