Hi! I think that's an excellent idea! I'm old ICQ user, and ICQ had some nice features even in the 2003b version, that's version blind ppl usually use. If you want to play with it, you can set personal sounds for each contact when it comes online, when it's write to you and many more. Besides that, ICQ has very complex privacy settings, where you can decide who can see you, who can't, and eventhough I'm not using ICQ much these days, I miss a lots of it's setting options I believe should be in other IM clients. So, for the beginning, besides this one you suggested, I vote for ability to set personal Skype ringtones as you can in cellphones. ----- Original Message ----- From: "jim grimsby Jr." <[email protected]> To: "'a list for discussing skype and its use with screen access software.'" <skypeenglish at emissives.com> Sent: Tuesday, March 25, 2008 12:56 PM Subject: [Skypeenglish] resurrecting an old idea
