How to get old Skype (classic) back instead of the new ugly one

Do you also hate the look of the new Skype? Despair not, because you can get the old appearance back easily.

Uninstall the new Skype then go to Skype download page, but don't just press the Get Skype button, click the little arrow on it. This shows the various versions and you can choose Skype classic which is the old, familiar looking Skype.

Much better.

How to get a new IP address

Sometimes you want a new IP address. For example, if you are especially naughty and want to download too much stuff from Rapidshare then it blocks you if you are over your limit.

Don't despair! If you're on an ADSL connection then you can easily get a new IP address by disconnecting and reconnecting. Provided your ISP is set up this way, but it probably is. Try it.
