Talk:OTOH

OTOH was popularly used in Usenet and on BBS systems long before Instant Messaging, cell phone txt-messaging, and possibly before cell phones themselves even existed. See http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/O/OTOH.html for the Internet Jargon file entry; the Jargon file dates back to 1975. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jargon_File) See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_mobile_phones describing the first handheld mobile phone as dating to 1973. Cellular 1G networks date to 1979. 169.237.11.123 00:28, 21 May 2015 (UTC)
