Your impressions certainly agree with those of others I've encountered. At
any rate, as a high school student many eons ago, I would have been most
unhappy with such a machine compared to a PC or Mac.
Bargain-priced *computers* with CRTs and the use of discarded computers
are appropriate solutions for Freenets and the like, right now; but
surely we can do better in the future. Even used XTs would be superior to
Minitel-style *terminals*.
The ultimate answer, of course, for serious reading and writing, would be
sharp-screened tablet-style machines with detachable keyboards.

I can appreciate the example above. At least we're talking about a smarter
phone rather than a dumber "computer."
