[GTALUG] 2 weeks on cell phone and chromebook... never again!

| Sheesh, sometimes in this list feel like I'm in a retirement home sitting
| around a circle of people complaining about Elvis and self-serve elevators.

Please: not so loud.  Some of us are napping.

| "Real men don't use HTML email"?.... pfffft. Get over it.

Straw man: nobody said that.

| As for typing, give me a break.

I haven't had a break key since I got rid of my last actual terminal.
Talk about harking back to the past.

(They were not very useful.  On an ASR-33 teletype, you could use it
to punch blank papertape (well, blank except for the sprocket holes).
When using a terminal as a Sun console, you could use it to summon the
firmware.)

| And as for "ooh, that's a CONSUMER device"....  expressed in any field,
| such an attitude does little but reveal elitist snobbery in the speaker. A
| Samsung phone in the hands of a good photographer will produce more
| desirable results than a dork with a Hasselblad.

That's not what he said.  In the context of Len's statement, anyone
taking a picture is creating content.

There's so much Trump going around these days that I'm getting very
sensitive to negative hyperbole.  Well, perhaps only other people's
hyperbole.
