Bigger keyboards for mobile telephones

1 Yes, bigger keyboards. Put away fiddling with the child-size keys on the mobile telephone. Texting with less-than-fully supple fingers is just not able to accommodate the richness of the proposed message. For that one needs well-practiced fingers touch-keying on full-size keyboards. Imagine, just imagine the two impediments - the three - to the keying of this message on a mobile-telephone keyboard. There is no scope for the use of all the fingers. Some letters require two, three, or even four key-strokes. The key-stroking cannot keep up with my thinking. What I want is a full-size keyboad which can be attached to my mobile telephone.

1.1 Better still, of course, I want my correspondents to have access to this blog. Some places, I know, do not have access to the internet. At least, I have heard of such places, though it is hard to imagine such impoverishment in these times. Even so, one can require one's correspondents to hire a horse, or to borrow a cart, or perhaps a man who will take one, piggy-back, to the nearest internet café.

2 Otherwise, I have been occupied with external matters today. SSAFA, of course; a call to remind me of a RAFA meeting, already running - a call I answered as the man who called has been a co-worker on various enterprises; from the RAFA meeting to the continued preparation of papers for an AFD2010 meeting tomorrow; soon it was time to begin the drive to Worthing to attend a Board meeting of the WSCU: my co-worker, another one, and I rattled the cages but, having done so, were ready to smile and to listen; from Worthing to East Grinstead, to a call to the CU member to whom an unwarranted payment was made; further preparations for tomorrow's meeting. Hey, where's my time?

2.1 Now there is just no possibility that I would have sent the preceding paragraph by text. The keying would have been so slow that instead of a flowing text I would have realised a stilted, abbreviated one. And now it's time for bed and for reading. After all, I was awake at 0500 this morning, and I suppose I'll be awake at that time tomorrow. It would be good to rise soon after 0600 so that I was the first or among the first into the pool. (Or what about an early-morning ride on my bike.)
