6. Skype For Dummies
2011 by Loren Abdulezer, Susan Abdulezer, Howard Dammond
Skype For Dummies—or, as it might have been called in a slightly more bewildered universe, Don’t Panic: A Hitchhiker’s Guide to Talking to People Without Ever Leaving Your Chair—is a delightfully pragmatic romp through the digital ether, revealing how one might, with only a computer, an internet connection and a suspiciously omniscient microphone, summon distant voices from the void at absolutely no cost (or, at least, until one inevitably succumbs to the temptation of “just a few extra features”). In the grand tradition of making things appear simpler than they really are, this book cheerfully guides you through the metaphysical process of installing, configuring and generally making peace with Skype, all while hinting at the darker, more eldritch magics of call forwarding, voicemail and conference calling. Whether you wish to enhance your Skype experience with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or pure stubbornness, or simply seek to weaponize it for business, education, or transgalactic diplomacy, this book is your slightly bemused but infinitely patient companion. It even includes appendices, because every adventure deserves a few extra pages of unexpected wisdom.
