Hi Hank. Sound should already be on, however, if you are on MSN and
the person you are sending to is "unavailable" there will be no sound.
Don't know about automatic reading with VO and Fire. Wouldn't want
it anyway myself because it would be a disstraction while typing or
doing other things. I just interact with the text box and VO arrow
down to the bottom, then VO arrow up once then right and you should
be able to catch up fairly fast on what was last sent.
One other thing, with fire and MSN, if you are in a group chat, when
you send and probably when you receive you will probably not get a
sound. You would know your message has gone by the fact that the
text box you type in is simply blank again. Also when typing a
message, I find it easier just to hit the return/enter key instead of
getting out of the text box and finding the "send " button. Just
faster that way. With a separate text box to type in though, it's
easy to overwhelm whoever you are typing to, because you can type a
long thought process in segments easily while interacted into the
field with out being bothered with a lot of noise comming in. Just
the pings of incomming messages.
If another perso than who you are talking to sends you a message,
there will be a linge in current screen saying there's the other
message. Can either Comand/tilda to cycle over to the other one, or
find it under the "Window" section of the mennue.
And if you are in another aplication and something comes in, you will
hear the sound and VO will anouce that "fire needs your atention."
In some ways fire doesn't have a lot of fancy features that
individual messenger programs have, but it also has a lot of
advantages as well.
