Using wine is a good idea, because that might be the easiest option. Skype is available for linux, if that helps and you can install it without using wine. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=205434 Whenever you feel like criticizing someone, just remember that all people in this world have not had the same advantages that you have had. - The Great Gatsby http://puppylinux.hostrator.com/
