I want to add an additional Skype account (I already have one) to my iBook?
How do you do? Any hints? Thanks!

Windows:
How do I create 2 profiles on the same computer? - Skype Forums

For Mac

1. Create another user on the mac.
2. Load up Terminal
3. Type 'su - USERNAME' (where USERNAME is the shortname of the new user)
4. Type ./Applications/Skype.app/Contents/MacOS/Skype
5. Voila!

Keep in mind, all settings for that instance are store in the other username's folder/home directory and it will not be able to send files from your home directory.
