Subject: Reminder -- chat call 7 PM US Eastern Time Sunday

Reminder:
 
The cryonics chat call is still on for this Sunday, 7 PM US  Eastern 

Daylight Time. The original message with the details is copied  below. If 
overseas 
please note the dateline may make it Monday for you.
 
I believe this is 2 AM Monday in London, 11 AM Monday in Sydney and 9 AM  
Monday in Perth, but I suggest you check that!  Londoners may be forgiven  
for not staying up...
 
 
The number is (712)  338-8710   -- and when it asks for the room number  
type in 388, "followed by the pound  sign."

Hello all, and now for a new idea!  

I want to suggest a conference call just for chat.  These calls work well 
for board meetings and are inexpensive, or even free for  many people. Why do 
this? Because how often do you get to talk to fellow  enthusiasts? A call 
just to chat would be like dropping by a coffee klatch  of cordial 
cryonicists.
 
It's possible to get a free chat room for up to 30 people at a time. Users  
just call the number (it's a regular area code in Iowa), key in the 

extension,  and chat. Users pay for the long distance charge themselves -- but 
long 
distance  is free to many of us; we pay for unlimited service by the month. 
For others,  it's cheap now. For many places overseas it's a couple of 

cents a  minute. For those in more remote areas, many Internet cafes have access
to  Skype, which is a couple of cents a minute too. Thus I hope it should 
be  affordable for all.
 
The number is (712)  338-8710   -- and when it asks for the room number  
type in 388, "followed by the pound  sign." 
 
I've used this service with another organization for years, and it's always 
 been excellent.
 
Because anyone can call in we would assume  the presence of talkative types 
and discourage any controversial or  private remarks. 
 
Would anybody like to try this? Does anyone have a time suggestion?   What 
about this Sunday, 5 PM Mountain Daylight Time, 7PM  Eastern? 
 
and maybe someone can find this as GMT, Australian etc. -- I can't  seem to 
find a site that gives anything but the current time, and we have to  worry 
about the International Dateline too.
 
Or does anyone have a better time suggestion?
 
Also, note that the number is available 24/7/365, so any of us wishing to  
have a small conference to discuss anything can always use it. (Say, several 
 people want to discuss perfusion techniques or uploading or whatever.)  
Also, these numbers are free and take about ten seconds to get, so if we want  
another number for private discussions that's easy too. ( And if you want 
your  own number for family calls etc., just go to  mrconference.com.)
 
I tried this with the Cryonics Institute group but got only one caller -- I 
 think the group needs to be larger. Please let me know if you plan to  
attend.
 
Is anyone interested? Anyone prefer another time? Comments?
