2012-08-01 Thread Donna Goodin
Hi all, I've been having a weird Skype issue for a long time now, so thought I'd write to see if any of you know what might be going on. I always mute speech on my Mac when on a Skype call. I do this using a keyboard command that I created. Occasionally, when I end a call, I press the comman
