Good old one. It's funny how we circle around with technology, folks are dumping their phone land lines and adopting wireless/mobile that required a substantial technology leap and investment and now we are using the mobile phone to "text" an incompressible dialect worse than the early teletype/telex days but with a humongous infrastructure to support it. Ohh yeah, now we can send sort of a telegram with multiple fonts and colors almost from anywhere... Cheers Jorge
