Hi Ray,
I'd suggest you give it a few goes and decide whether it's for you. You
may find you have a need which you haven't realised; on the other hand,
you may well say "Been there . . . done it . . .."

Yeh, Carol, I sort of appreciate the instinct to join in all of this.
Just the sheer obsessiveness of texting that throws me. I'm the sort of
guy who looks at things still from the practical standpoint; never been
that much into being 'cool' or doing the business to prove I'm still
alive and kicking. Or am I just sad. I dunno.
Guess the way things are going now you'll never get to talk to a
stranger on a bus or train, so wrapped up are they in texting, or doing
the Ipod. You can't accuse folk of being insuler I suppose if they are
talking to someone, but others might around them just might as well not
exist. That's life.

Ray, Hi,
I think the deal is
1) You don't interrupt people in the same way that a phonecall can do
- they look at the message when they want; and
2) We live in a sighted world where texting is "cool" and some people
won't/don't communicate in any other way. They don't even want to pick
up voice messages . . .. Texting for them is so much quicker! Anyway,
I like texting. I can see why some become addicted.
Maybe this is straying a little from the point of "access to
computerised systems etc", for which I apologise, but I suppose we do
have to see it from others' points of view.
