And I don't see why they couldn't implement functionaliy like that, it's there in the mac version, you can set it so that the system voice speaks things like contacts coming online, contacts going off, incomming calls, etc, and that's really nice.

Goodgrief Dug yeah they really screwed things up again! Although I still have 3.8.188 right now and I hear people signing in and everything else except for signing out I believe they shouldn't screw things up like that! If they don't put the skypewatch in then alot of us are going to start boycotting skype altogether! I think they need to know that because I'm an avid user of skype and so is my current boyfriend!
