Hi, yes msn messenger is a easier program to use there is how ever a program witch may give you some use of yahoo. It has been some time scence I checked it out though. It is called cheeta chat and can be had at http://www.cheetachat.com It uses microsoft agent for text to speech interface and uses true voice as it's speech engine. There was a program called smart butler but I do not have a url for it it supported yahoo msn and trillion I will see if I can find that sight and let the list know. -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Jim Sent: Friday, June 04, 2004 9:13 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Yahoo Messenger Does anyone on this list use Yahoo Messenger for chats and everything else? Also, is there a way I can make it to where it won't automatically activate when I go online? I'd like to control that a bit more.
