Skype for windows 98

[laineyw]

Hi there,
I would like to be able to contact my family on Skype but need the older version. Could someone please give me some tips on how to get the download, as well as how to connect it?
Much appreciated.
Cheers,
Laineyw

I used to love Skype 0.97.040....

After that i couldnt run them they were TOO RESOURCE HEAVY for my computer (Win98 with 56m of ram)

Then i discovered that skype was sold and i tried version 2.0.0.73 and IT WORKS WONDERFULLY!! But the filesize is 19m!!!!

ITS BECOME WAY OVER BLOATED AND I DONT CARE FOR IT ANYMORE.......

If i could somehow get 0.97.040 running again i would use it again straight away! (The original company somehow blocked the older versions from running.)

Ah well...........

I know man how you feel. That older version was really simple to use. I remember when skype came out it was the shit for almost everyone living in the dorms. My roommate just sat on the computer and talk for hours. Annoyed the hell out of me.

btw, does version 2.0.0.73 work on Windows 98?

Yes exactly like 0.97.040 did!!!

But i didnt like it because IT WAS SO BIG!!!!!

I dont want all that extra crap in it (Dialpad,etc)
