[QUOTE="sllewk, post: 1790744, member: 379533"] Good morning Jake, I really am being a pain in the rear-end. Downloading Skype was, I suppose, an attempt to stop having to conduct our chats by email after Len (in NZ) mentioned that we used to use Skype in my Windows days. He is not an amateur so EchoHam is not an option. I think back to email is the only viable option. As far as I am aware I have closed Skype down completely but I have no idea as to how to check for "running" software on my iMac. Yes I am aware that if it is running it cannot be uninstalled and that applies to any software. If you do attempt to uninstall a running piece of software you are informed that it is still running and that fact is not mentioned in the report that "Skype cannot be deleted". Oh I do wish I could learn all about computers and how to run them properly instead of stumbling along on a daily basis. On the EchoHam front, some-one mentioned the following numbers (IP addresses I think) 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and I did not make a note of where I had to put them! Yet an other brain storm or Senior Moment. As I am shortly due my 84th birthday I am beginning to think that I am a "Senior Moment"! Very best regards from Keith in Derby England. [/QUOTE]
