Bet you couldn't write an SMS in 10 seconds, though. ;-)

I have been told that you could do this without looking at the phone hidden under the desk when phones had buttons.

I still don't know why they use SMS when you can use email and do the job properly. Maybe they can't set up email on their phones? Maybe its only us old ones that know how? They probably don't know how to setup their phone and PC so you can read and write SMS and emails on either and still have them all on both.

You do not need a phone to sweep up or fetch the correct task light.

Do you think all apprentices are gormless? Or just the ones your firm employs (and foists on you)?

It could be that the standard has dropped, now that anybody with two brain cells can borrow £100k and get a degree in media studies. So, you are getting apprentices with only one brain cell. Since, at the age of

16, that's fully tasked thinking about sex, you're lucky he could even find the van.

I'm on the committee of a small group which uses a church hall. Which has a (sophisticated) keypad entry. When I pay the rent, I get send (by email) the codes for those dates. Which I then pass on to the other committee members so the first to arrive can get in.

For me, the easy way is simply to forward the email to a list I've set up of the committee members. But if you asked each one they'd want it sent in their own favourite way. Including some form of social meja I've never heard of. ;-)

Why go to the trouble of sending an email when a text is so much quicker? If you email me, I'll get it once a day when I go on my proper desktop computer. Phones are for TEXTS.

I once had someone insist that when replying to an email that I should colour code my replies and his text so he knew which was which.

Any decent mail program does that for you! Mine certainly does.

On the other hand if you send me a text I won't get it until the next time I take my phone away from home because we don't have coverage at home (and anyway my phone isn't on when I'm at home whereas my computer is on).

On the incoming, yes. He wanted me to do it on the outgoing.

However it's not really necessary as the indents make it pretty clear.

That's quite rare.

I always send a text if it's urgent, and an email if it's bigger.

Time somebody invented a Smart phone. It would be capable of making telephone calls and sending, receiving and displaying both SMS messages and e-mail and even receiving, sending, receiving & taking photographs.

Colour isn't part of ASCII email.

On a 3 inch screen with a tiny pretend keyboard, GTF.

And don't forget those annoying vertical videos.

Change your phone to a network with coverage, I did.

In the receiving end it can display in colour, Opera does in newsgroups and emails.

Emails are often HTML.

No, but it is available on VT100 terminals and their emulators.
