How do I change my Skype password?
I’m paranoid about passwords and now that there are more stories of password and account data circulating I want to change everything! But I can’t figure out Skype. How do I change my Skype account?
How can I disable Skype chat beeps and audio?
I do a lot of business via Skype and often have a chat window open with my partner while we’re on the line with a client. We have a backchannel conversation going on so we can ensure we’re in agreement on terms, schedules, etc, but what drives me crazy is that each time I get a chat message there’s a small “bloop” sound. Can I turn this Skype audio notification off?
How do I set up a three-way chat/conference call in Skype?

How do I find a friend on Skype?
A number of my friends and business colleagues use Skype and I’d like to be able to chat with them while traveling, but I don’t know their Skype account names. Is there some directory of Skype names and/or some best practices about how to search for someone in the Skype universe?
How can I add a second Skype account?
I kind of hate to admit it, but I’ve been using my son’s Skype account on my Mac because I can’t figure out how to sign up for a new one. You’re a master of technology, however, Dave, so can you show me how to easily get a new Skype account?
How do I set up Skype on my Apple iPhone?
Just heard about the slick Skype for iPhone and want to get it and install it. Well, I can get it by downloading it from the App Store, but can you step me through configuring the Skype application so I can start using it ASAP?
