I know my Wife and her friends who are not that techy intrested have updated early on and then had problems in the past with various pieces of software.

i stopped using yahoo and switched to skype as the sound quality was far better and much less likely to lose connection.

Indeed. If you are concerned, there is no need update, but here are some opinions on it. I will post more about it too.

How do you get archives for that one raven?

[whiteraven]

it doesnt keep an archive as such, only conversation over 30 days. took me ages to figure out how to print them out. if you need some evidence of contact then yahoo is a better idea.

You can use the "From Beginning" button to get a full history.

I usually just select the entire text and copy it out to a text file in notepad.

Also if you are using Skype for calls to a landline or to a cellphone your entire call history is available in your online Skype account going back how ever many years you want.
