From the land o' rilly rilly old bits:

I want to know why "you're revolting" was such a popular message to send
by pager that it needed its own abbreviation... or is this a Motorola
engineer's idea of a joke? [Actually, the Motorola engineer's idea of a
joke is the user interface to the i1000+, the only redeeming feature of
which is that I can throw it against the wall in frustration and not
witness any further degradation in performance.]

8642, Motorola i1000+, because 1776.
