yeah... we've done it too...
we discover a page with heaps of cool links...
so we start following a few of these links - and
we think "must bookmark that links page"...
but sometimes it's too late - we've clicked
on past - and we've "lost it"...
so don't let this happen to you...
make sure you bookmark 'gorgeous' now
by pressing your 'control' & 'd' keys ...

FREE INTERNATIONAL TELEPHONE CALLS
You can talk to us at gorgeous from your computer absolutely FREE
It's just like talking over the telephone - but you don't have to pay
those horrendously expensive international phone call rates
You'll need to install a clever little freeware program called "Skype"
Once you've installed "Skype", search for us under "gorgeous-gear"
in Australia - & you can then speak to us completely FREE
You can even call people who don't have "Skype", or have a computer
Yes, it does cost you a little, but we really do mean "a little" - & it's
also considerably less than those International Phone Cards
eg: Check out the costs of a 30 minute call between Australia & the
following Countries - & the costs are the same in either direction:
USA:
|
US 62 cents
|
 |
New Zealand:
|
NZ 98 cents
|
Canada:
|
CA 72 cents
|
 |
South Africa:
|
Rand 3.8
|
United Kingdom:
|
UK 35 pence
|
 |
Japan:
|
Yen 73
|
Europe:
|
Euro 51 cents
|
 |
Singapore:
|
SG 98 cents
|
Switzerland:
|
Franc 0.80
|
 |
China:
|
Yuan 5
|
Details are on the "Skype" site - under "SkypeOut"
If you have a webcam, we can even "eyeball" while we're talking
with "Skype" video calling - & this is also completely FREE
"Skype's" PRIVATE chat function includes a conference call facility
In the course of our gorgeous business, we make many calls to our
customers right across the world - & as you can probably tell
from all this, we're absolutley rapt with "Skype"
"Skype" is a fabulous utility & so easy to use - it's saving us a "bundle"
“I knew it was over when I downloaded Skype,” Michael Powell, chairman, Federal Communications Commission, explained. “When the inventors of KaZaA are distributing for free a little program that you can use to talk to anybody else, and the quality is fantastic, and it’s free – it’s over. The world will change now inevitably.”

gorgeous are located "down under"
in Melbourne, Australia
The current time here is:
Please note time differences between
where "we are" - & where "you are"
if you intend to skype or phone us
If you "click on the clock", it will go to the
"World Time Server" website - showing
you the Day & Date here in Australia, & you
can even see our local Weather forecast
