 Reminds me of my REX from the mid-90s! A great gadget form factor!

 I've been trying to think of 90s tech that I miss… GOPHER, maybe? I really don't miss CDs, DVDs, any of that crap, though once I got out of the US it was obvious that those were the catalysts for incredible sneakernet file sharing networks and economies.

Anyhow, I remembered the first mobile phone I could type on (for SSH, of course), but that's 2004. Still miss having a gadget with a proper handheld physical keyboard.
