yep. It took forever, but I think I've more or less got it set up correctly. the question is: will it still talk to me if I happen to be in another window when a new event happens. For example, if I'm listening to pandora on pianopub, or working on a document in text edit, will I still get notifications spoken? Thanks! Missy

I've only had my macbook pro for about 6 weeks now, and freely admit that I don't know much about it yet. Over all, I can get it to do what I want most of the time, but I'm writing because I'm having a very frustrating problem. I'm not very much into the social networking thing. I do, in fact, only use twitter on a regular basis on my PC. Well, for several reasons that aren't particularly relevant, I need to try to use some other instant messengers, at least short term. I don't want any of the windows live junk on my main pc, so decided that if I do any instant messaging at all, I'll use the mac. It will be good practice and keep clutter off my main computer. Well, I've installed the newest version of adium, and have hooked it up with msn, facebook, google chat and yahoo messenger. All of my contacts are there, but I can't actually have conversations with them. I was trying to test it with a friend just now, and she doesn't receive my messages, and I can't read her responses. At the moment, I'm just really, really glad Adium was free, because unless I'm missing something, which is entirely possible, it isn't VO-friendly at all. Still, I know a lot of folks, especialy on twitter swear by it, so clearly, I'm missing something. Are there configuration options I need to change? The menus don't work very well, but I can try to figure them out if I know what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide, and I hope that everyone is having a great day!
