Really?

It isn't, but it will take you there anyway. That 'cindulareme' is what I
think my cell phone uses to forward text msgs to a number in Chicago to be
forwarded to the recipient.

Won't work.

It sure does. Most text msgs are short and sweet, but occasionally one
could exceed 160...if he tried.

That's what my dad had last too, so that dates the computer. He passed in
2001.

Ok.

That was something that had bothered me for a long time, as I knew about
the 'cingularme' and have used it, but never had any luck in replying to
it successfully. After reading your msg about texting to a email address,
I did some research and found the solution. Tried it and it works, so I'm
happy...

 EV> ... Have you checked your smoke detector batteries, LATELY?!

... I change them out once a year, no checking required.
