What is Skype ?
@Moderators,

please enable my IMG code, it's currently OFF @this forum.

i've been trying it since 0.97 beta, and it is the BEST voice over ip i've ever used.
delay is ZERO, instant delivery of voice to the remote party...

but i have 1 question: did anybody tried it with windows 98? does it work or blocks everything? i have an XP machine, but a family members is using win98, and i would like to see if it works before leting him mess the PC.

I saw this on the website, but I am asking if anybody really tried it on a windows 98 machine?

Well well well, no need to get touchy.

Your answer doesn't show that you have personally "tried" it. In fact, your answer gave no information whatsoever. Guy knows that software hasn't been "tested" on W98, and that W98 "isn't supported". What he WANTS to know, is wether it actually doesn't work AT ALL, or perhaps it works, but only for some and with (minor) glitches.

We all can be smart, but let's rather be friendly and helpful.

i didn't try it because i don't have a windows 98 machine..

i want to see if there is at least 1 using it with win98 and it works, so to tell my relatives in a far country to install it.
i don't want let them try and mess the PC, as they will not be able to fix it if real problems/conflicts happen.

Son, what are you talking about and whom do you refer your appeal to ?
In any case, it's been fun to read you interpretation of the thoughts of whoever it might be in your thoughts.


Do me a favor and and, pls, read/view the posts over again, this time more carefully.

You must be very proud of that "son" line - took time to come up with it, eh?

Allrighty then, let's go through it line by line.

Yes, I bet he really thought that you didn't get his point. I know I did. In fact, I believe everyone with a tad of common sense would think the same. Why? Read on.

Nice point! You know, you might be right. On the other hand, it's more than possible to come up with too strict requirements - just to be on the safe side. Read on..

Tadam! Seems it's not me, but in fact you who has problems reading posts! Let me point out the exact place to save you time:

Surely a senior person like you wouldn't miss the fact that he just can't try it himself! Furthermore, wouldn't it be funny if someone like you would miss the point - he wasn't talking about the system requirements, instead, he was talking about the actual situation, which God knows can differ!

So to put all the irony aside - having 5k posts doesn't make you all godly and stuff. Doesn't put you into a position to flame anyone and everyone. If you don't have what to say then don't. You ain't helping. You ain't contributing. You're missing the point.

Now, before you start flaming - don't. I know I'm all that. And that aswell. Save your time.

Contribute.

Sheesh kid (see, I can do that aswell - wee @ me), you're using my lines! Guy asked for help - you didn't help but flamed instead. Is that contribution? Is that what your 5k posts are all about? Sorry, I don't see that as contribution, even though you're obviously oh so proud about it.

How about using your own advice and actually reading the posts? Or do you want me to quote the dictionary to explain meaning of those words? You can do better than that.

You're right - there's no need to keep flooding this place.

To answer your question - I didn't answer the guy cause I don't have Windows 98 either.
