Another computer resuscitation project with Q4OS Linux is my 11-year-old Acer Aspire One netbook. I carried this little thing with me everywhere, until Windows XP went end-of-life. I’m sufficiently pleased with the results running Linux that I’ve ordered a new battery for $15, giving my long-idle netbook a new lease on useful life.
That picture of the Acer was taken with another piece of old tech, my LG flip phone. But soon there will be a significant improvement in the quality of my photos, because I’m about to leap into the technological present.
My first cellphone was 25 years ago, on the Cingular analog network, but until now I’ve never had a smartphone. That changed today when I added data to my Verizon plan and ordered a Google Pixel 4a.
