The strange thing is that Skype had informed me that a newer version was 
available on Wednesday and, for some reason, it installed itself on my 
C:\ partition (in WIN) when everything that has a hardware driver is 
installed on G:\.

I automatically *assumed* that the double incidence of *.exe files was 
the culprit and ended up removing both instances, cleaning the registry 
(Skype leaves a ton of junk behind), and reinstalling.  There was 
nothing in my call or chat history that I would feel particularly bad 
about erasing so I just did a total removal and start from scratch.

Since Wednesday was the Assumption and anyone deciding to work Thursday 
and Friday was in no hurry, I had WIN properly configured again only to 
receive an e-mail from Skype saying it was their network and not mine.

Yeah, the shortness of breath was unexpected, now that you mention it.

Skype-to-Skype to a user in Annapolis worked for me about an hour ago. 
I'm hoping that's the end of the problem.
