Hi. Quite a number of people use Skype on their tablet and phones and
I haven't used GW Connect all that often because I've got the same
contacts on Facebook and I only do text chat anyway. I can never be
asked to call anyone as that's eating into my day because Skype calls
for me seem to go on for ever. I will now remove this program and log
into Skype via the Samnet Socializer instead. That way I have
everything in one place.
