Robert: I will try .uninstall and I hope it is there for me to use. Thanks! I am one of those who hasn't gotten audio out of the microphone, using the Skype Beta on Linux, but others have it working properly. Recently, there was a thread, about a Static (?) version of Skype, which seems to work well, so after I get the new version of Google Earth installed (Norad tracks Santa with Google Earth: http://www.noradsanta.org/en/track3d.html) I am going to uninstall the Skype Beta I now have and install the Static version of Skype. I have used Skype on M$ Windows and the call quality is usually excellent. Also, for video chat. Calls from Skype to Skype are free. I started to reply to your answer and clicked wrong and sent an extra message to the list. Sorry! Lanny
