I would go ahead and install skype, it works well, though the interface is a bit cluttered in the newest version. There are 2 ways apps are installed. For the most part, apps come as a disk image, this has a .dmg extension, be sure to enable the showing of file extensions in finder preferences. Highlight the file and open it with command o. You may have several files, the ones you are interested in have a .pkg or .app extension. If it has a .pkg extension, this indicates that it's an install package. Open it to start the install. Most of the time, you will find a file with a .app extension. If this is the case, highlight it and press command c to copy it. Now open your applications folder with command shift a, and press command v to paste the file in the applications folder. That's all there is to it. You can then open the application like any other file. No messing around with shared files or registry keys, none of that garbage. On May 4, 2011, at 11:02 PM, ShamelessFanGirl wrote:
