Feel free to drop me a line. Yahoo! Messenger is pretty usable and there are lot of shortcut keys. Here are some tips: COMMAND+1-10 -- conversation windows. So when you hear someone ping you, simply pick one of those windows. By default, you will be dropped into the text field where you can type. If you want to read incoming messages, use your VO cursor to navigate to the object that says "HTML Content". Press CONTROL+OPTION+SHIFT+DownArrow to begin interacting with it. All your messages will be there. Start typing and you will be automatically transferred into the text field You can find out more shortcut keys by looking at the menus.
