They say the sound quality is a bit better. Skype out especially was a bit like talking on a 2-way radio and I believe this has improved. I had purchased Skype out previously but these credits are now used up. Personally, I found no real problems using Skype but my wife who makes most of the long distance phone calls in this household hated it. Once the new beta 4 becomes a non-beta I will likely buy more credits and give Skype out another try. Skype out just in case you don't know gives one the ability to initiate a call fron ones computer to someone's actual landline. Using Skype you talk using your headset and microphone to someone on the other end using a regular telephone. The cost is about 2 cents per minute Canadian anywhere in the world at any time. As Skype changes versions, the Jaws scripts are beginning to lose functionality but the program is still quite doable. ----- Original Message ----- From: "chris ramsay" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "PC audio discussion list.
