"Keep that crap off of OS X. I tried the OS X version on a new Powerbook and Skype sucked 6 ways from Sunday. Nothing but crappy sound and echos to no end. How or why anyone can stand to use Skype is beyond me."It works great if you use a headphone. I have used the built-in mic on powerbooks and iBooks w/ just regular headphones and it works great even w/ someone using dial-up. Echos are gone immediately using headphones.
eBay (Skype's new owners) need a wake up call on why the majority of users (not owners) and net savvy citizens use Macs. Where is my Mac 2.0 and Skype video?
How is this a digg? It maight be a digg for those who have absolutely no clue as to what Skype could possibly be, but tatint no digg if you already use Skype and have been notified via Automatic Update, idiot.
Since everytime someone talks about skype someone comes up saying gizmo is better, I must ask: how is it better?Skype just works fine, why wouuld I change to another proprietary system? (I'd love to get an answer)
