Doug,

I didn't know you were a part of this list or used a mac.  I accessed Skype 
successfully with JAWS for a very long time, and really appreciate all of the 
time and effort you put in to develop the scripts to work with Skype.  I 
switched to VoiceOver because I got tired of every time Skype released a new 
version needing to worry about accessibility.

Thanks for doing your part to make that easier on all of us who sued or still 
use JAWS.

Thank you also, to the person who suggested using VO-J.  I think of that 
command in Mail and use it frequently, but do not think of using it as often in 
any other applications.

Thanks,

Harry
