...Herself has just sent her second ever SMS...and it took her about 20 minutes, copious swearing, and several "technical support" screams of frustration: "Where's it gone?!?!" (Screen timeout), "How do I send a comma?" (that key there, the one with the comma on it, yes), "Why did you capitalise that?" (because it's after a full stop), and the best "Send the elephanting thing you elephanting elephant!" (tap the "send" button - that one, looks like a split arrow head; yes, that one. No, tap it. It doesn't work with evil stares.)

At this rate, she should be proficient in about, oooo, six years... Sigh | :sigh:

Mrs Wife is away currently. Last night she e-mailed me to ask to call her on Skype. I was online on Skype at the time, it was just "easier" for me to call her then for her to call me...

I don't believe a word of it.

Microsoft has emphatically stated that the ribbon is an absolute necessity for touch screens, because toolbar buttons are too small to be used with the fingers, so there is no way in the world that anyone, anywhere, has ever managed to send an SMS.

Hah, my wife would make all these punctuation and spelling nazi's here look like pussies, letting her read an email to a mutual friend is painful.

However when it comes to texting all that goes out the window, txt speak, no punctuation and the absolute minimum to convey the message. I don't think she has ever sent more than 30 characters ever.
