From maustek to ~lioploum/forevercomputer
Going back to the far flung era of 2003 this most reminds me of using a Palm Pilot. While it was not open source, I don't think e-ink had been released yet, and did not have an attached keyboard or r45 jack it was similar. Once a day or so you would connect to a computer and it would update and sync everything, news you were subscribed to, emails, etc. I believe it had wifi but my house did not so it was wired or nothing. The screen was maybe 16 color greyscale so fairly similar to my experiences with e-ink displays in the near-times. It was almost purely good for text, whether inputting or reading it out and while the 50year computer is ideally with much more storage at the time it held a decent bit. This is what reading it put me in the mind of. While I admit I've been some issues imagining my usage of this device, even if not endless scrolling I find that the items I might wish to learn about are a bit far flung to have thought or and downloaded in advance, I find the idea pretty interesting and wanted to share what it most reminded me of.
