261324 -    4.  Thanks again for reporting this issue.  Please let me know if
261325 -        you need help finding subjects of interest on welchco.com, also
261326 -        mentioned in your letter on 100816. ref SDS 7 SA5H

261329 -    5.  Last night we got SDS to load with the new Medit-Java platform.
261330 -        Still debugging features to execute correctly.  Hopefully by
261331 -        the end of the year will be running SDS in 64-bit environment
261332 -        with expanded memory.  At that point, the user interface can
261333 -        begin to be refined, and integration with other tools can
261334 -        occur.  [...following up report to Jerry on 100816 1417.

261338 -    6.  Recently visited friends in Connecticut.  Ross helped me send a
261339 -        "twitter," or something like that, using his cell phone.  Young
261340 -        people and many in the work force are becoming facile sending
261341 -        text using undersized keyboards.  Millie's daughter told us a
261342 -        few months ago that Mil's grandson, Nolan, was sending several
261343 -        thousand text messages a month - Pam and her husband had to
261344 -        restrict this activity because it was hampering Nolan's grades
261345 -        in school.
261347 -         ..
261348 -    7.  This demonstrates addictive nature of communication using text
261349 -        to convey information.  It also shows a huge inventory of
261350 -        information is being generated.  SDS adds value to this
261351 -        addictive inventory.
261353 -         ..
261354 -    8.  While texting per se is not conducive to using SDS for
261355 -        "thinking through writing" it is a first step to capturing
261356 -        communication that can be managed with SDS by adding
261357 -        "intelligence" from "chronology, context, and connections" that
261358 -        transform information into the "power of knowledge," see NWO.
261359 -        ref OF 13 A56M
261361 -         ..
261362 -    9.  Ross has talked in years past about integrating SDS with small
261363 -        devices that have gained ground in the market place.  The
261364 -        texting craze, which shows no signs of being a mere passing
261365 -        fad, seems like a critical enabling force toward Knowledge
261366 -        Management, perhaps leading selling millions of SDS programs.
261367 -        We'll see what happens.
