Mac OS 10.2 and Skype

[Link00seven]

Hello,

I have an iBook G3 500MHz with Mac OS 10.2. I know that this computer isn't good enough to run the latest Skype, it doesn't even have the required OS installed. I was just wondering what older version of Skype, if any, will run on Mac OS 10.2.

Thanks.

Below is a quote from Skype

We have decided to build Skype first for 10.3, it might be that if/when we have it working all fine, we will see about a possibility to support lower version of Mac OS X as well.

They suggest the following .... download ichat av

• Voice chat with other people using iChat and AOL Instant Messenger.
  Video chat with other people using iChat and AOL Instant Messenger.
  Send SMS messages within the United States
  (Create a new chat - Enter the number i.e. +1 whatever)
  Send files to other iChat clients and AOL Instant Messenger Client.

Alright. I just wanted Skype because I paid for the unlimited US/Canada calling and it would be useful on a laptop.

Thanks for your response.

Skype 1.5.0.48 Beta (22 MB)

If this doesn't work go to http://www.oldapps.com/Skype_Mac_OS_X.htm and try even older versions. I know for sure that one of those older versions has to work.
