[Electronics-Talk] o t skype

[George]

What's not true, Laz?
What do you mean by "This is not true"?
Can you easily chat on Skype?
Can you send and receive files?

It's true that I could do that before, but I don't know how to do that now.

Isn't it true that Skype is much easier to use on an iPhone, for example...

You might have a different experience or I might be wrong, but I'm not 
telling lies. I just tried to share my experience.

I wouldn't write "This is not true" in the beginning of a message, 
because I don't want anyone to think that someone might be a liar.

If someone can tell me how to send and receive files on Skype (if it's 
still possible for a totally blind person), it will be very appreciated.

Thanks,
George
