Skype works OK on a W7 machine!

I'm sad to lose Skype: can anyone persuade Microsoft to provide a Deb inslaller?

Would Skype work from a fresh W10 installation?

Thanks for that informative post, CharlesV,
I see that Brave can be useful to some people.

True, Charles, but many people get away with many foolish things......
What essential advantage over other browsers does Brave offer?

I have completely removed Brave because it caused me to lose capabilities and data which I wanted to keep.
I will never use Brave again, but alas the damage is done!
I believe Brave is based on Chrome which may be the reason for its misbehaviour.

AVOID BRAVE-BROWSER!

Thanks, fehlix,
Followed your advice and now have it working nicely.
Best wishes,
David.

How can I get my Grub screen to start with numlock off?

Thanks, Stevo,
But I have three of these keyboards: they all (miss)behave in the same way.
Maybe they would work on some system which I do not possess: so what?
For me they are useless.

Thanks again for trying to help.

David.

That's OK, number pad not wanted!

Supplied in a box which says "Chiclet Style Keyboard"
I did not realize that it was not a brand name!
