I've been following along, intending to try to make it... but holiday plans are gearing up and threatening my attendence. As always, I'll be nearby, but likely pretty quiet.

Hey guys for me it is OK to go out tomorrow and maybe then again Friday.

So far though I have too few people who have signed up with Yahoo Messenger which is our base reference communication platform. I need you to do this or to suggest reasons not to so that I can effectively move with these first two groups.

Please feel free to report this message.

Yahoo Messenger can be downloaded at:
http.//messenger.yahoo.com/
my Yhaoo Messenger (YM) id is: mr_robin_good
add me as your friend once you have the software running.

Look forward to receive some final confirmations for tomorrow at 1pm EDT as new buddies signing up to my name in YM.

Else, just let me know.


All the best

Robin Good

I'm on for Thursday, 1pm EDT, (10am PDT). My yahoo self is choconancy@yahoo.com - Robin, I think I have you in my list!

I am looking forward to joining tomorrow at noon CDT. My yahoo self is "nipporica." I'm afraid I'm not quite clear on what to do at the appointed time. Just be ready in Yahoo Messenger? Sorry for my naiveté. Thanks for leading us, Robin! The new site looks impressive. Will send my comments separately.

Hi, I'm ready to go at Thurs 10am PST. Will go out today and get the right head set.
I'm on yahoo as this handle to the left.

Friday at Noon (EST)is the time that works best for me, if you are going to do two sessions. I will be able to start the tour on Thursday, but not be able to stay too long.

Just let me know whether or not you're doing two sessions.

My yahoo ID is TallMIGirl

I can't do tomorrow at noon EST-but can do Friday, so if you're doing it then, I'm in! Thanks Robin! Ann

Ann, don't forget to post your Yahoo messenger ID here.

Unless something goes wrong, count me in for 10 a.m. PST Thursday. My YahooIM ID is bharrisconsult; I'll be accessing it through Jabber, if that works for what you're doing. BTW, if I had typed better, my name would be Bill Harris on the left.

I'm going to try to make it for Thursday, 1pm EST. I have a mission critical task to do at 12, ie. deliver my doggie to the groomer for her Christmas do!

I've added mr_robin_good to my buddy list. My YahooID is "egs".

Look forward to a bit of fun!

Hi all - I would like to try for Thursday but I have been sick with the flu and not sure I can make the 4am - will try though Friday is most likely . Is there any chance of one tour later hour ESD for those of us in the sth hemisphere? Just thought I would ask. Even 3-5 pm ESD would work if it is possible.

My yahoo is bron_stuckey

Coming to join you all in a few minutes assuming a 1pm EST start. My Yahoo name is tony2carr

We can also try and take notes in here as we go. Looks like we may have 5-6 of us! Yahoo! Just tested mic and all is working on my end.
