[mhvlug] New Skype won't work on my system

[Mark Wallace]

If she has to install a plug in, she may not be able to do it on a 
computer cafe system.  She says that the computer does not have Firefox, 
so it would have to work with Internet Explorer.  I have no experience 
with Explorer and don't want any.  Do you think that she will be able to 
run it?
