As weird as it my sound, in 1981 I bought my first text messenger made by Motorola, The fun part was a group of friends that we were involve as amateurs ran a bbs for chess only, the radical thing we learn from Mike, an old buddy of mines who was killed in a helicopter crash during combat operations, develop for me about 12 emoticons made in PRIMITIVE basic language. that I load into my pager with his help, I could display the message and the emotional status for what I did meant. then the Ibm 286 came out and it unleash the technology monsters for ever. True Great friends that I always remember and honor.
Thank you for your research and time.
