Thank you! And thank you, Al Gore! LOL.

I was writing on my cell phone and didn’t have the energy to look everything up; nor did I have a pen and paper next to me to write things down. :)

I was writing on my cell phone and didn’t have the energy to look everything up; nor did I have a pen and paper next to me to write things down. :)

So you're saying that cell phones are actually not more convenient than big-screen desktop computers / laptops? I have always suspected that (I couldn't be sure, mind you, never having owned a cell phone myself - I never understood the need to be constantly accessible to others - and was thus only vaguely aware of their limitations).

Like in the "old days," when people would write to me and say that I should excuse their spelling of a particular word - never understood that; after all, aren't they (like I) sitting comfortably in their studies, a row of leather-bound dictionaries behind them?! How could a person writing a letter not have all the necessary resources for writing letters close at hand?! Conversely: If he happens to not have those resources close at hand at the given moment (e.g., because he is "thumbing" a message while riding a bumpy streetcar), why doesn't he defer that chore until he has the proper setting?

To me, that's a conundrum.

Regards,
