Hi Terry I've installed 9.10 but haven't yet tried putting Skype on (I'm mostly using SIP now).
Unfortunately, my eee was stolen a few weeks ago. I've replaced it with an earlier model Aspire One. That said, assuming all the hardware works on both, there shouldn't be much difference in the Skype procedure. I'll give it a shot tonight (that would be very late for you...) and let you know tomorrow morning!
