Mike, I too use Skype on my brand new Mac Book Pro. I have my Skype set up to only show me contacts who are online in the contacts table. I did this off the view menu. Also, I went in to my nitifications and have it set up so that Skype verbally tells me who signs in and out. My issue is this. While on a conference call, I have yet to find a way to dissconnect from specific parties at a time. Barring that, I'd go so far as to declare that Skype is more accessible in Voice Over than in Windows. Sincerely, The Constantly BAREFOOTED Ray!!! Now a Mac User!!!

If you don't have a built-in microphone, you'll have to buy a headset micro combination. Skype works nicely on the Mac. The only problem I have is determining people's status. I have not figured out a way to determine who signs on or off without manually using VO keys to go up and down my contact list. If you have specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them off-list.

Any tips or things to watch out for? I've got a Mini, so it doesn't have a built in mic. I assume I'd need a headset with mic. Any recommendations?
