Wink and John Quixote to have regular office hours

P: 1/8/2007 7:04:33 PM
Wink Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,032 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 5/4/2001	John and I have been talking and it occurs to us that you would also like to be able to just pop in and ask us questions from time to time. I will hold my office hours most afternoons at 6:00 PM EST, which is 4:00 PM in my neck of the woods. The camera will be on and you can just watch me work if, in John's words, that is your wierdness, or you can type in a question, at which time I will turn on the mike and speak with you about any topic of your choosing. Fortunately Leonid has put in a little ding when someone sends a message, so I will hear it when you type. John will post his time(s) and we will both try to make it a regular event for you so long as you utilize it. If no one comes we will just work. Leonid has given us an incredible tool, now we will try to make it work for you as well as for us. Wink Wink Jones GG Winfield's/High Performance Diamonds

That truly is a gift for us and I am sure sometimes it would be nice to just "work in peace"!! lol Again, I cannot say enough how great it has been to see people here on the website so passionate about that work and willing to share it with whoever wants to listen, so thank you!

I was hoping there would be some sort of 'regular thing' where people would know they could contact you...love the idea of office hours so you can still get your work done but be available if someone needs an answer to a question! Thanks!!

Wink Ideal Rock Total Posts: 4,032 Last Post: 11/17/2009 Member Since: 5/4/2001	I am in the process of ordering a high resolution camera that Leonid turned me on to. It will allow me to take images up to 50x (I am not going to buy the 400x lense, that seems to be overkill), When we are doing the live presentations it will allow me to show you up close and personal the gems that I have here. If it works as well as I think it is going to after watching the demos and listening to Leonid, I believe that soon many vendors here will have it. This will truly take MUCH of the "how is it going to look?" out of your diamond and gems shopping. I am buying the lense that has two lighting options in it, I am thinking that for color this will make a huge difference to see how it looks under different lighting situations... I feel sort of like a kid in a candy shop and it is Christmas morning. Wink Wink Jones GG Winfield's/High Performance Diamonds

Kind of like having a PS concierge. I'll be delayed today, as I'm on back to back phone appointments (this time correlates to the east coast lunch hour, which turns out to be the only time some people can speak). I'll be live as soon as possible. I'm considering a different future time. Mara, I have no prob with an evening or weekend-cast here and there.
