Thank you Doug. this is correct. I do not understand how my expressing my opinion about Skype four let the gentleman to conclude that I was aggravated with him. I said nothing of a personal nature. It is I who must apologize, because I did not mean to come off that way. And you are correct, I find Skype four to be quite aggravating. If anyone has any lingering worries. when I'm aggravated with someone in particular, they will know about it. I assure you.

Skype 4 may have done so, but Jim is also one of our more blunt list members. <grin> On Thu, Oct 30, 2008 at 09:47:18PM -0700, Gene wrote: It appears I have aggravated you in some way.

Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] FW: Skype 4.0.0.169 Beta Well it's not even about accessibility. Quite frankly the user interface makes absolutely no sense. The way the menu system is laid out is ridiculous. Also half of the features don't work sorry to say that the software should not be considered a beta. It is a poorly designed poorly conceived Alpha version. Quite frankly, I hate it. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:skypeenglish-bounces at emissives.com] On Behalf Of Gene Sent: Thursday, October 30, 2008 9:42 AM To: 'a list for discussing skype and its use with screen accesssoftware.' Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] FW: Skype 4.0.0.169 Beta Jim, I contacted Doug Lee and asked about the Skype 4 beta. He told me he was working with the folks at Skype and that, since Skype 4 is in the beta process, there aren't any scripts yet. I concluded from his E-mail that the final release would be accessible. Also, there is a discussion at Skype.com that openly says that Skype 4 is not accessible. Y As frustrating as it is, for me as well, you might consider staying with the latest 3.8 version. Its accessibility isn't perfect, but, it is usable. I hope I've been helpful.

Subject: [Skypeenglish] FW: Skype 4.0.0.169 Beta Apparently Skype has released another version of this horrible beta. I do not have any specifics yet about what has been changed from this version to the previous version as of this writing, nothing has appeared in the skype garage blog I of course hope that more features work as they did in 3.8, And I hope something has been done about the user interface. I have already launched my complaints about this numerous times, so I will not bore you all with them again below is a direct link for the download. Note, as information becomes available from the Skype garage On this new beta I will post here. I hope this information is useful. http://majorgeeks.com/downloadget4245-1-77c0b39374aabed16f2289f40418603f.htm l Feed: MajorGeeks.com Posted on: Thursday, October 30, 2008 7:09 AM Author: MajorGeeks.com Subject: Skype 4.0.0.169 Beta Make free calls anywhere in the world in minutes.
