because, you ignoramus, every cotton pickin' time, there's an
announcement telling us of improvements to Skype, and it is posted
on this list, you are the only one that arks up and pulls out the
same old argument time and time again, how it will never be good
because it is already worse and how they need to do one thing or
another to improve it. or, better yet, bring back something that's
clearly been put to bed, and was considered being put to bed many
years before you even had an inkling of it being so. those of us
that watch trends and the like, knew that the minute MSN Messenger
was shut down, Skype was going to be the way of things. moreover,
we also knew that the interface, such as it was, which was an
interface that hadn't changed overly much for the better part of
ten years, I might add, was very likely to be done away with and
something either newer or better or even, god forbid, both, was
going to take its place. A few of us knew, even back when
Messenger went the way of the dodo bird, that change was on the
cards. and when MS bought Skype and sounded the deathnel for
Messenger, we knew even then, that Skype was going to become their
flagship Messenger service.
Really, you are the minority, because you are the only one
bitching, pissing and moaning about the unfairness of it all and
how you have to exert 100% more effort. Christ, it must be so hard
to press a key on that keyboard, it's got to be a strain on the
brain and the hands to do that I'm sure.
Really, It's been said before by myself, and by others on this
list, so it's not our fault if you choose to ignore what's right
in front of you.
either get with it, or don't let the door hit ya where the good
lord split ya.

Sarah, I asked you some time ago,
but I haven't got any answer from you.
Do you accept only positive
remarks about Skype on this list?
Do you like only the remarks that
are the same as yours?
You say that "we are starting to not like it". Can you please tell
me who are those "we"?
Were there votes made among all members of
the list and you observed that all list members don't like my
messages?
And btw, is there a rule of this list
that tells that if a certain number of members don't like the
opinions of other list members, those other list members
should not send those messages? Or something like that?
I didn't send messages with swears, and I
didn't send strong messages against other list members, but
yes, a list member sent that kind of messages for me just
because he didn't like my opinion.
You said that I sound like a broken record
just because I told my opinion for more times about the Skype
version I like and the one that I don't like. But what about
the other people that expressed their opinion but their
opinion was different? They don't sound like a broken record
only because their opinion matches yours, or why they are OK
but I am not?

Then sit down, write your feedback to skype directly and
not here. We have already heard it. If you you don't like
it there is always zoom or the delete key. You tend to
sound like a broken record and we are starting to not like
it. You in this case and on this list are the minority as
you are I hink the only one who is hating skype and its
new ways. Either get used to it, get left behind, or
leave. I'm speaking as a list member, not a mod.
Take care

Yes you are right. We

we can't change it.
Nothing will be changed
in our favour if we all would continue to pretend
that it is all right when it is not all right for
all of us.

that's not my point at all. in fact, you know what?
forget it.
I'm done. Time and Time again, people have given
you solutions and whatnot and other feedback to help
you improve your efficiency with Skype, and you
still complain that it is worse than what you had.
build a bridge, get over it, The new Skype is here
to stay, and no amount of belly aching on your part
nor anybody else's will extend the life of Skype
Classic. Microsoft have put it to bed, and rightly
so. We, whether you like to admit it or not, are a
minority, and we do not affect a major corperation's
bottom line as much as we'd all wish we could, save
for those to whom products are specifically designed
and marketed towards us.
Whenever I see an email from you regarding Skype,
it is a never ending litany of charges against it's
ease of use, that it's worse than what you had, it's
less accessible, it's less efficient, it's this,
it's that, or it's the other.
That is why I say you should expend that energy you
put in to thinking up and cmposing that litany of
charges, in to learning Skype or whatever varients
thereof, and actually be constructive and positive,
instead of negative and disruptive.
We've heard every single complaint you've raised
before, and reitterating them here, is not going to
change what currently is. If you feel that strongly
about it, contact the MS Disability Access Desk and
kindly present them with your arguments.

I already told you that this
is not true. I put a lot of efforts in learning
to use Windows 7, and I use it every day in the
last years, but I still consider it worse and
less accessible than Windows XP.
After I will learn to use
Skype 8 I will be able to use it very well, but
that "very well" would still be worse than using
Skype 7 for me.
Don't think that all the
people use the applications the same way you use
them.

so do I, on both platforms, windows and mac.
IOS and android, well, that's a whole other
ballgame, but, it's certainly better than it
ever was.
Octavien, if you put as much energy in to
learning the new skype as you do complaining
about it, you'd have nothing to complain about.

Any
improvement is good, but these are
small improvements while bigger

The
biggest issue: Skype 8 uses a web
interface.
This
issue might be worked around if the
scripts will turn the virtual buffer
off automaticly and it will use only
the PC cursor, and of course, if
this way Skype will be fully
accessible this way.
The
best news is that for the moment
Skype 7 still works. Too bad that it
will probably stop working soon.
