19:13:11  sharonp ->  nah, google has me at #2, keyboardr had me way way down the page
19:13:41  arthus ->  sharonp: that's odd, because the results are definitely powered by Google
19:14:15  sarah h ->  wow.  I think I have my Friday flex time lesson now!
19:14:17  arieliondotcom ->  I'm old school.  Altavista actually works best for me searching for audio.

19:20:16  dave ->  http://oldcomputers.net/ibm5100.html
19:20:23  JL ->  perhaps refresh the page - you'll need to log into chat again, but might work
19:20:23  James Sigler ->  all dark, and reload button where play should be
19:20:30  sharonp ->  bec we can read/see the text as well as hear
19:20:39  arthus ->  "portable" PC :)
19:20:49  sharonp ->  refresh might be a good idea
19:21:00  JenWagner ->  @arthus -- your "THE STATS" would make a really nice widget in Wordpress  :)
19:21:12  arthus ->  I don't use WordPress. :P
19:21:13  sharonp ->  portable ... like my 19 inch monitror
19:21:16  James Sigler ->  tried refresh. no go.

19:22:21  JL ->  http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/email-to-sms/

19:22:39  PeggyG ->  links that work :-)
19:22:46  JenWagner ->  I was gbing to write for them -- makeuseof
19:22:52  JenWagner ->  but decided NOT to
19:23:09  arthus ->  someone should make a service which actually integrates those emails together
19:23:12  JenWagner ->  they are looking for an education blogger
19:23:14  JohnS ->  Tweeting the terror: How social media reacted to Mumbai: http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/11/27/mumbai.twitter/index.html?er...
19:23:23  arthus ->  so you could send it at a central service and they determine the carrier
19:23:34  sroseman ->  CAN A DA
19:23:47  ruyoung ->  very very sad
19:23:52  arthus ->  carriers have too high of prices for SMS
19:23:59  arthus ->  crushing innovation...
19:24:05  ruyoung ->  we can still send, but not receive
19:24:09  sharonp ->  try Canada Arthus
19:24:23  cyndidannerkuhn ->  use Twitterific from Apps store on an iPhone
19:24:35  sharonp ->  I would never ever have twitter deliver to my cell as texts - I would be so in debt by now
19:24:51  arthus ->  yea
19:25:01  arthus ->  carriers charge SMS rediculously
19:25:10  mrsdurff ->  why not use Dial2Do?
19:25:13  dave ->  http://www.knittinghelp.com/videos/cast-on
19:25:17  sharonp ->  like text is so heavy on the bandwidth
19:25:19  jerry swiatek ->  It's insane that it costs little to send a physical letter and half that to send a simple text message. Why do we allow the carriers to charge what they charge?
19:25:44  arthus ->  jerry: there is actually a congressional investigation in the US right now
19:25:56  sharonp ->  I could learn to knit by watching the Internet? cool
