hello friends, well, paul has done it again, sorted out my skype problem, o boy, what a mess, i hadn't a clue as to how i could get out of the situation, but the man himself with the greatest of patience sorted it out for me, thanks paul, now, i have used skype a great deal since i installed it some time ago, i chat with my friends around the world, phone my relations in britain regularly, for practically nothing, and receive many skype calls myself, incidentally, if anyone on this list wants to give me a shout, my skype name is bollardjoe, you might not always get me, but give it a try, skype makes the world a much smaller place, chatting to friends in australia, south africa, and of course the US, anyway, if you haven't tried skype, give it a go, and once again paul, thanks a million, travel safely, joe.
