I was expecting this to be like > AOL's AIM when texting. Thanks. :) iMessage isn't available on non-Apple devices. That leaves SMS messaging, which requires a cellular phone. Alternatively, you could send an email message to the recipient's SMS gateway (see my other reply), or you could use another messaging service like AOL, Yahoo, etc. -- E-mail sent to this address may be devoured by my ravenous SPAM filter. I often ignore posts from Google. Use a real news client instead. JR
