Marc,

It must be nice to be a retired house hermit at 58 years of age such as 
you are.  Unfortunately, I at 79 years
have to work full time.  I spend about 6 hours a day at a computer, 
sometimes having to decipher "text".

Yes, your son is right, texting is a passing phenomenon.  Voice 
recognition is the next one.  I just talk into
the microphone, and the "in print" message appears.  LOVE IT!  In 
limited use today, but TOMORROW
THE WORLD!

Jerry
