    I mean the first person that groomed me did it through texting, so my point still stands, but thats neat. It was a standalone device? Like those kids ir messengers from like 2008?

      Nah, it was an application on family computer. You know, the computer in the corner of the dining room where your parents and baby brother could read over your shoulder. (I had my own computer in my room, but it didn’t even have a network card or modem.)
