@Champ (was: Re: 160 chars)
Seems to me I was doing well over 300,000 characters using text messages back in the vi/EMACS wars and C/C++ wars on Usenet in the early-mid 1980s. (Lots of over-quoting back then ...).
IRC has always allowed far more than 160 characters.
I won't go into Usenet's alt.binaries groups ... All text, of course.
And trust me, I regularly send email text messages with far more than 160 characters. The entire SMS thingie is (in my mind) a complete waste of time. There are far better tools for communicating, unless you have the mind of a gnat.
