Hi doug, again, many thanks for your hard work and detication. Being the lazy bugger I am, I'll wait until they get the shortcut keys implimented. I don't know why they couldn't have popped them in, as it does make life sooooo much easier.
I almost installed skype 4 to have a go at it, but that put me off. One thing of interest, why for did they not give one the ability as to where to install skype 4 as in previous versions? It sure makes thing a pain smile.
