[There is a strange text message posted to the network from the NV of "Jake Marshall" this morning.]

Beef
salsa
tortillas
chili beans
chips
spices
milk
pancake mix
bacon
eggs
Tabasco sauce! Super spicy

[... yep, that's right. Jake still hasn't figured out there is a text mode. He just thinks it's a memo pad, so he just sent his grocery list

You better invite me over for taco night, amigo.

Text -> Video

[cactusnwhiskey]

Can do, amigo.

[A chuckle.] Y'know, you musta read my mind. I was just makin' a list of food I need to get. Guess I need to add some more fixin's.

[beenwaitinglong]

Starting to figure out the buttons at last, I see. [Now on video, Diego has a long sip of coffee.]

Don't forget the chili peppers.

[cactusnwhiskey]

Not really. I get the buttons on the bottom, one of 'em turns it on and one of 'em is the back button and one of 'em takes you to the "menu" when the NV first starts up, but I still can't figure out the "touch screen" bit. Damn blasted thing.

[Yes. This is all he has figured out in TWO WEEKS of having it.]

[beenwaitinglong]

Well, amigo, the touchscreen is just that. You touch it to control the buttons.

[cactusnwhiskey]

Can't say I know much about these buttons. They don't make a damn lick of sense, Diego. One of 'em says "hologram". I don't even know how to make a video, let alone a hologram.

[beenwaitinglong]

Strictly speaking, I'd imagine you press that button to make a hologram.

[cactusnwhiskey]

... you pullin' my leg? All you gotta do is press the button?

But how do I poke it through the glass? [Jake really does not understand the meaning of "touch screen". I am so sorry.]

[beenwaitinglong]

You don't poke it through the glass. You just touch it. Hence touchscreen. [Diego's voice is very patient here. He's done this with Jake before, clearly.]

[cactusnwhiskey]

... just... touch it? The screen... can do that? [Jake's mind. It is blown.]
