Question

HEY!

THANKS A MILLION!!!!!

Answer 1

Yes, Skype is fine; It won't ruin your computer.

Also, as you've running Mac OS X you'll find there is barely any malware for Mac OS X compared to Windows. You are also totally immune to all Microsoft-only malware. Someone can send you a ".exe" virus and it will do precisely nothing :)

Mac OS X already has the drivers for your webcam.

Answer 2

Skype is ok. In fact it came already installed on the lap top I'm using right now.
