Skype

[ffutures]

After a lot of hesitation I've decided to uninstall Skype - I'm not using it very often, and I think it's slowing my PC quite a bit. If there isn't much improvement I might eventually reinstall it, but for now at least the account is off line.

At work I often take calls that are being made with Skype; the experience has left me with a deep and abiding hatred of it, and I wouldn't use it myself if I was paid large sums to do so. The call quality is so abysmal that whatever it might save the customers on call charges will be outweighed a thousand times over by the enormously extended call lengths and by the catastrophic mistakes that happen over and over again because of us not being able to understand what they are saying.

Personally I usually have mine switched off 90% of the time, running it only when I want to make a call. I've only got two Skype contacts anyway.
