We're getting ready to announce a new, exciting program on SBO: webinars.

For those not familiar with the term, a webinar is just like a seminar, except it comes to you through your web browser and a telephone. You see the slide presentation on your computer and listen to the presenter on the phone. It's live, so you can ask questions just like the real deal. We'll have more details and a complete announcement later this week.

Right now, we're trying to determine the best time on a WEEKDAY to offer a webinar. Figure one hour, more or less, and a time when you won't be interrupted but will have access to a desktop or laptop computer and telephone (iPhones and Droids aren't recommended).

Please take a quick, one-question survey here. Thanks!

Smart phones and Droids are not recommended as the phone, the computer, or both?

Availability of Archives?

Will these be available in an archive fashion for later review?

Great idea. Time usually not an issue. Lucky me!!!! Can I use Skype (VOIP) rather than a phone?

I'll tune in whenever you have it, but ten minutes after I break something or can't get it back together would be perfect.

While I would love to say anytime, I know what my boss would say if he walked in on me watching the Webinar, so please after normal working hours and remember that there are potential viewers on both coasts. It could make it hard to get west coast after work/dinner and east coast before bed time. Please try to have them recorded so after I break it, whatever this weeks "IT" is, I can go watch the webinar on picking and installing the replacement.

Thanks,
Scott

Same question from me.

although it misses the immediacy and opportunity for direct feedback, an archive in the form of a video would help those of us who are time-challenged (either quantity or punctuality)

Hi Phil,
You're probably gonna kick me in the shins, but could you do a Webinar for East Coasties and then 2 hours later have the same webinar for the West Coast?:kick:

If this is in any way interactive, we would lose too much in humor from the audience if we split it up. For some reason I find you on the east side particularly entertaining.......would not want to miss that!!
