Um yeah dont worry I will be there and I am getting Andy from here as well. We actually might just use my talk shoe account and three way call in that way.
If anyone has any questions please ask I will be more than happy to help out.

[azcellphonejunkie]

Excellent, look forward to having you guys there!

Question Mickey. With tonights show is it just a call in ask the question and hangup. Or is it more of a call in and chat with others while giving input to peoples questions? Please let me know, PCSuser.

You call in and listen to the show as it is being broadcast live. If you want to just listen, you can do so, but if you want to ask a question, you can log into the chat room on talkshoe and request to speak. No software download required, just a web interface if you like. Everyone but Joey and I will be muted, and I will be the moderator bringing in callers throughout the show.

Mickey-
If you dont mind I would like to explain how this works for a listener. First you want to make sure you sign up and get your screen name and get a pin #. Once you sign up you are ready to go. The best thing for a Pin # is to use your phone number or a ten digit number you will remember it does have to be 10 digits long.

Once you have these items you will go to the talk shoe main page and from there you will see the upcoming shows and you will be able to find the cell phone junkie from there. You want to click on the Join In button when you do that it will connect you to the chatroom. The audio will come through your computer but you cant talk this way. You have to call in using a phone or skype whatever works best for you. The number to call is 1 724 444-7444 and then it will ask for the show id plus the pound sign then after that it will ask for your pin plus the pound sign. Once this has been done you will be connected to the show

This is automatically disable the audio on your computer as it knows you just called in. Then from there you are going to be defalted to mute. You will hear Joey and Mickey but you cant talk. But you can type the whole time. The way that is best for someone to talk is call being put into a pool and first click first talk. So I hope this makes sense mickey has the powe to unmute you when it is your turn.
