@arstechnica I remember when an entire company would share a T1, the router was $2500 and the monthly bill was $1500. That 1.544 Mbp connection is now like bad cell reception in the mountains. #inmyday #andwelikedit

an issue of the New Yorker costs $9 now?! #inMyDay #whatIsTheWorldComingTo

Wednesday night is a great night for fiction to help get us over the hump, and slide into the weekend. (Page 32) #mockingowlroost #yugen # quarterlyissue #fiction #inmyday #JossRichards #writer #writerscommunity #fictionwriter

Back in the late aughts I got an HTC Touch (https://www.gsmarena.com/htc_touch-1999.php) running the perfectly named WinCE 6. It came with a stylus ('garaged' of course -- they all were in those days) which was absolutely necessary to peck away at the teeny tiny little widgets WinCE had.

I improved the function of the phone tenfold when I found a version of Android 1.something (probably Cupcake) that would run as an application on top of WinCE. It crashed a lot but it beat the alternative, and gave me my first "modern" smartphone experience. (https://android.fandom.com/wiki/Android_1.5_Cupcake)
