Well, once again, skype is playing f# %king games. Now it's telling me that I have been signed out and cannot connect to the server. Apparently the workaround I found on the Apple forums was only good for a few more weeks of using the older, more user friendly, simpler version of skype doesn't agree with their new version, which my computer won't run!

My only alternatives are: Upgrade my OS so I CAN use the newer version of skype, which sucks moose rocks, btw, or demand a refund of my skype subscription which i just renewed in June. May I say, as this point I am so pissed off at skype in general that I am very tempted to tell them exactly which orifice they can stick their new version into?

I think the thing I hate the MOST out of all of this nonsense is the feeling that skype is actually BULLYING users into using their new version by locking out all the older versions. I have fought long and hard to NOT be bullied by ANYONE, and it sticks in my craw that I may have no choice but to give in to their demands this time!

GOD! I HATE this shit!!! Why the hell can't these people just let sleeping dogs lie?

TO all those with whom I usually talk on skype, I am unable to get on and may not ever BE back on. PMs here or emails will have to suffice until I can either afford to upgrade my OS on my MacBook, or I can find another VOIP service that will work on my machine.
