Yeah. It took a little while to get used to my Droid. Actually, what I had the most problems with, was texting. I *hate* texting. Trying to type with my thumbs seems to me like trying to start a fire with 2 sticks: why would ANYONE want to do that.
Funny story: Google Voice allows me to SMS from a keyboard. My pastor's wife and I have both worked with a group of Burundian refugees our church has helped, and occasionally we have to communicate. She doesn't answer her phone much; she runs a week behind on her email, but she's a texting demon. On occasion, she's buried me with a stream of 10 texts. (Barf, gag, leave me alone!) But, I put a stop to that: the last 2 times she texted me, I didn't respond till I had access to G. Voice. I'm a fairly fast typist, and it's nothing for me to rip off a 3,000 character 'text'. So I replied . . . and she blasted back with a sequence of 3 texts. I replied with about 3,000 characters BEFORE she'd finished her stream, and then with another 1,000 afterwards. But she was off and running again. Long story short, I out'texted' her 10 characters to 1, so her 'text' stream was a horrible mangle of mixed partial messages from me and from her -- completely incomprehensible. Then, after she finally stopped, I waited awhile and sent her a "What about this ?" which was buried in the middle of my mess. Long pause. Then answer, which I followed with another "What about". Pause. Answer. "I gotta go to bed text" (She'd started this about 11 pm).
A week or so later, she did it again . . . and so did I.
She calls me, now.![]()
