Its okay, but the screen seems a bit cluttered. The menus all work, and the
skype ap helps with messaging. Why anybody wants to type instead of talk, I
have no idea.
On the other hand I'd rather pound brass than use a mike.
Am I inconsistent?

Does anyone on the list know how or if the new skype works with WindowEyes?
It's too bad that GW Connect broke when Microsoft stopped supporting GW
stuff. Jim WA6EKS

I will be sure to download and install the latest version of Skype from
skype.com, and will also get the Jaws scripts from
http://www.dlee.org/skype
If there's a better URL for more up-to-date Skype scripts, please send it my
way.
Thanks!

Tom,
OIf it was a number of years ago, as mine was, then it just won't work. =
Skype has discontinued supporting older versions. I think my version = was
6.1. =20
Jaws 16 has scripts in for the latest version of Skype.

Ok, Phil.
That's what I'll do then as well.
Not sure what version is on this machine, since it used to be my XYL's
computer, and wee used it a number of years ago to talk to the grandkids
when they were in Missouri.

Tom,
I never paid much attention to the current version. I just went to
skype.com and hit download and it updated my older version.

Can you tell me what the newest version of SKYPE is that you are = using?
I really need to get up and running on Skype for both personal and
professional reasons.
It's going to be one of the things on my "to do" list this summer once =
the college teaching year is over.

Steve and others,
Apparently my skype was no longer auto updating but I sure like the =
look=20
and
feel and features of this newer skype. One thing I failed to mention =
when telling everyone about my camera experience with my nephew overseas is
=
about
the sound quality. My nephew has always been a little scratchy =
sounding=20
and
the lag time has been uncomfortable to use. Last night, using my = iPhone,
the quality of the audio was better than cell phone to cell phone and =
that was with the cameras running. I've also always liked the echo feature
= to test your microphone when using skype. My little 20 dollar radio =
shack desktop microphone I've had for years and years was dead when I
tested = it.
I put in a couple of new tripple A batteries, ran the audio check echo =
on skype and it worked fine. Then our dogs started barking and when the =
test cut off and replayed itself, the dogs heard themselves barking and =
cranked up even louder; thinking we had new dogs in the house. I've heard
a =
lot=20
of
ham rag chew round tables with skype video chat groups going as they =
talk=20
on
the air so they can see each other, too. I knew a bunch of blind hams =
would
appreciate that bit of information and run right out to get a camera.
Phil.
