Re: [AFMUG] sales tax on tower leases

Re: [AFMUG] OT: Why does txt spk bother me so?

My 18 year old son can type crazy fast on his iPhone with two fingers... but he is crazy slow on a regular keyboard. LOL Compare that with my 24 and 22 year old daughters, who are both crazy fast on a regular keyboard AND crazy fast on their iPhones. I can still beat them on a keyboard (just b
