I don't like to call people if I don't have to. If I'm texting someone it's for stupid crap or to keep up with my fiancee in places where she can't talk (law school study rooms ect). I'd rather text someone and let them get back to me when they have time. I texted frank and anita to ask them about batteries for a wii controller. I could ahve called but they could have been eaten or playing with the grand kids ect and I didn't want to interrupt them so I figured a text would work better.
