fuckin smart phones

I just spent about 50 minutes typing (actually hunt and peck method) a "brilliant" review of my local club (no 5 orange in Vancouver) only to have a "Microsoft Moment" delete the entire fucking effort. Am I the only 50 something spazzbob guy to have this problem or have other fellow members had this shit happen to them. I don't want to sound like a dinosaur but at least with carbon paper u had a fuckin copy of what you typed. No need to cut, copy, paste, back, delete, pray, suck dick, WTF hope that ur fuckin message would survive an electronic fart before u could post the fuckin thing...

The previous moment is lost, now I'm just a bitter soul.

That's why I do a review on a laptop. So much easier to copy / paste, save on another file and post the entire thing once you're ready.

I write my reviews on a computer but yes, I've "lost" some long discussion thread comments. I'm not really sure what happens.

I've lost a few just using my desk top. Now when I anticipate that it is going to be a lengthy post, I type it on word pad first.

sc,

You got the 70+ year old crowd covered, I have the 60+, so maybe Maverick100 can cover the 50+ group, and we can all agree that computers are both a Godsend and a curse!

I still have my phone from 2006 sure it is held together with twine but it works and no one in their right mind is going to steal it. Also I do the same as SC even on the phone if it is soooooo smart it should have a word processor and a copy and paste feature.

I make my contributions via MacBook or iPad. Shadowcat is right--it's smart to write lengthy articles or reviews in some sort of word processing format first.

Those smart phone keyboards are entirely too small for anything but a short message...

One of the reasons I like google voice is I can 'text" from a laptop/desktop

Agree with several posters that long reviews should go into a word processor program, then copied to the website as the final step.

Use MS Word with a VERY short autosave on a computer, not a phone. This isn't hard to figure out.

I have some reviews I need to type, but as you all have said, smartphones are not the best platform for writing essays.

As HB13 said, a computer word program is the best platform, even though I have "Word" on my smartphone.

Get a Droid. Had a friend with a Microsoft phone, spent most of his time rebooting the fucker by pulling the battery out of the back.

Normally I would have used some word processing program for a more lenghty review, alcohol probably didn't help either...Thaks for the replies.

My phone's got a rotary dial and no display. Pain in the ass to enter text.

Smartphones is an oxymoron

Forgot to mention: If you're writing Shakespeare on your phone, just use one of those "voice to text" features. Just make sure you enunciate properly and do one sentence at a time.
