| 0:06.5 | Hi, John. |
| 0:08.7 | Hi, Merlin. |
| 0:09.6 | How's it going? |
| 0:12.3 | Really good. |
| 0:13.1 | That new Skype sound really is bugging me, though. |
| 0:16.1 | Oh, you have the new Skype. |
| 0:18.0 | Boom, do, do. |
| 0:24.9 | And then it's got this weird, like, there's a break in the loop. |
| 0:32.3 | You would think that the loop would be, you know, like, basic technology. |
| 0:34.2 | That seems like basic computer maths. |

Well, it says, enjoy the latest technologies. What are the two buttons, though? Oh, details and, oh, should, I just click details. Family serves. Okay, it's memories. Details and install. Oh, install, right. Unlike almost every other notification on the Mac, so normally when you get one of those, you |
| 1:44.7 | probably know this. |
| 1:45.5 | You can grab it, grab like the left side of it and scoge it off to the right side of your |
