   Review - Yahoo! Messenger for Mac OS X

   3.0 Beta 1 (Nov 8, 2006)

   When I read about the newer build 18274, I went to the beta msg home page to install it. When I slid the icon to my applications icon, then told it to install, it said I had a newer version. The version I show from the get info (on right click) says I have 17006. I told it not to continue. I notice on the new one I tried to install it says Mac OS Extended (Journaled) but wont show the build number since it isnt completely installed I assume. Any information anyone can share?
   
   I cannot view webcams, but I dont own one either. I have been reading many places that webcams dont work on this mac beta version, yet I see the screenshot posted. I dont know if I need to install a camera in order to view one? My friends try to cam me and I get a black box with a spinning icon like it is trying to load. After 10 - 15 mins I just X it out. I thought I use to be able to view cams back in April... but maybe not. I have an old pc set up by this iMac to view cams.
   
   I enjoy seeing the pics on this new beta version, but I think there is a lot of wasted space with the user bubbles and there is still no archiving that I can find. I have to save everything in a Text Edit program and keep in a folder... very annoying and very inconvienent when trying to see a history or a particular user. Also, the screennames are written in white in the bubbles, so when saving... I have to select all and select default to show the user names in black (if we use the same fonts and colors)... then I lose their color of font. So many frustrations with this !!
   
   I also dont like the fact that this newer version wont allow you to see a persons profile at random... only from a person in the msg list. I just go to my profile and then to the box for view by ID to search.
   
   I think Yahoo needs to step it up a notch... I see complaints Everywhere from Mac Users !!
