New Technically no
since it was I that introduced it to them and t'was I that spec'd and purchased the pc for my mother.

Its simply not the "standard" method by which I've spent my life communicating with the parental units.

Think.."the telephone is ringing....is that my MOTHER on the phone".

E-mail was easy to accept. IM...well...I told you already....it just doesn't seem right somehow. I'm sure, this too, shall pass.

New OT - Telephone is ringing...
...Every time you say that, I'm thrown back in time... ROFL!



Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Yeah, it was wrong at first.

But when they finally "get" the communication mode being all text, they do pretty well.

It'll seem like they are talking to you directly.
