I got a half-year summary of my cell-phone usage (monthly average):
50 minutes of talk
24 SMS
80 MB of browsing
My wife's:
5 hours and 30 minutes of talk
110 SMS
115 MB of browsing
Skipper: We'll fix it.
Alex: Fix it? How you gonna fix this?
Skipper: Grit, spit and a whole lotta duct tape.

So you're wife's the quiet type.
Now, if it were her daily usage, that would be quite normal.

Let me lower the bar even more: 0.0 in the last five years.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Totally missed that part... but I've sent more texts than that already this morning and it's not even 8AM. Boggles the mind man.

From both directions. The last two or three months is probably the first time I've gone from measuring my usage in texts/month instead of months/text. 
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

Too small, not enough pixels. My home desktop still isn't entirely satisfying[^] in that regard; but in all ways except DPI (something notionally budgeted as next years xmas gift for myself) it's well ahead of any fondleslab. 
The only reason I've been texting as much as I have involves on ill adult, a second whose cell's voicemail is broken, and their kids who I'm not willing to risk putting on the spot with as bearers of bad news by calling the house phone when I don't know who'd pickup. ![Rose | [Rose]](https://codeproject.global.ssl.fastly.net/script/Forums/Images/rose.gif)

Gotcha. I think I'll send someone a text about this.

The only SMSs I send are to my parents (like really once in a while) only because they're the only people I know who own a phone, but don't use WhatsApp

That must mean I'm as old as your parents then.

Or at least as technologically impaired

Not really. I believe too much technology is a bad thing. I prefer to talk to people with voice.

That doesn't explain your excessive use of SMS

That's because men's bums are bigger than women's bums, so the pictures are proportionately bigger.

This doesn't hold true to TV shows we get over here from PommyLand. The women on the shows are about 3 pick handles across the arse.

It's always an odd feeling to type a password infront of other people. What about, if your boss stands behind and you must type your password? Ofcourse you can apply some techniques, like to type several wrong letters and correct later. But it seems also odd... can my boss mind about it?

Why don't you trust your boss?

As long as your password isn't "Death2Management" or some such you should be okay. Also make sure you have a password that you can actually type, not two fingers but with both hands...
