just for us old timers

First time I've seen the RTFM, but I love it.

Most of these are simple compared with what the kids are texting now. Everyone seen that commercial about the LITTLE girl getting her cell phone taken away because of texting too much? I needed the subtitles for that one!

RE: just for us old timers

Yeah, but i'm positive there's more. Should there be a place under "recourses" for the explanations of the abbreviations? Mr Stansbury...?
