[Cialug] Commerical Interruption

Fri Nov 12 15:36:16 CST 2010

I was just calculating too and it does sound a little bit off. but  
that's the number the lady fro t-mobile gave me?actually, correct  
number is 10,846.
though, I saw him "texting" with his girlfriend - it's not texting,  
it's "chatting" over the phone. I asked him once to "explain" to me  
why he's not talking to her over the phone, skyping, or at least  
"chatting" using skype or any other IM but he said it's "better"?!?!?  
I don't understand. If somebody can explain to me...
Also, that was the biggest number, average is 6-7K. still, I know... :-)
