That maybe an advantage to my style of work, as the other end of telephone has to use what they can get and an "MS OS" (paid for,or copy) by downloading Skype allows inter country communication. Trying to set up a "VoIP" with non-computer-tech folks in remote countries is easy with Skype. The other end of my folk could do a lot on high tech chemical and gas analysis but know nowt about any computer system - they just use what is available. So Skype is ' fit for purpose'.
That's fair enough, I must admit I do use Skype occasionally because the family across the country have it and it just works (a whole lot better than I've found MSN to).
