[QUOTE]Originally posted by Henry Kisor: [QB] It seems as if some posters look askance at text-messaging, as if it's solely an obsession of careless youth. For the deaf and hard of hearing who cannot use voice cell phones, texting is a lifesaver and an instrument of liberation. A deaf Amtrak passenger at a sizable urban station, for instance, can use texting to call a taxi by texting to a a wireless relay service, which will relay the call to a taxi company. Deaf pilots can use texting to obtain weather conditions at airports where they plan to land. (Believe me, it's not easy when thermals and gusts are tossing the aircraft like a salad.) Deaf husbands can use texting to call their wives from cocktail lounges and tell them they're working late at the office. [/QB][/QUOTE]
