I used to have an Ericson T28 as my first phone, back when iPhones and Android were becoming popular. It was a hand-me-down from my mom.

I miss that phone, it was so small and nice to text on, battery life lasted for a week or more, and I could play Tetris on its tiny display while I was waiting for the bus while listening to music on my 2GB Walkman MP3 player.

I wish I still had it.

Ha. Reminds me of those large boxes of computer paper that was essentially one large sheet with perforations and folded thousands of times.
My dad would set one up over the weekend at his job or something. God knows what they did with thousands of pages of whatever and how they found anything or did anything with it.

it was basically data, like names or stuff.

I wanted to dual-boot this thing with the original 10.1 or 10.2 but honestly, the only real benefit to it other than stability is a decent Unix environment, the software base is really lacking, support is shit and the abandonware library doesn't hold a candle to the incredible and practical shit you can easily access for the classic systems

never really bothered me much, went and disabled font smoothing in the appearance manager anyway to see what would happen but it doesn't really look all that different to me, it's actually a little less readable than before
