The best of times, the worst of times

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to heaven, we were all going direct the other way... Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

Startup ideas - 1

Universal texting - as in you can text landline phones.

How would you display the message? (Convert text to voice mail on the answering machine?)
Would this be easier with VoIP landlines?
Is this even useful? (Should this be the first question I should have asked?)
Well, its useful to text other appliances in your home (like turn on the heat or the oven or whatever). I even read about this appliance which is a refrigerator till you text it and then it turns on as an oven. From defrosting to dinner all by means of a text message...

Hey a geek can dream can't she?
