I appreciate all the help. Sadly, Skype is one place MS doesn't want to

I vaguely remember having to run an old version of skype to make
anything work. Found an old backup skype_static-2.0.0.72-oss.tar.gz
don't know if it works - it was pre-MSFT.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
