  I've been writing for decades and can confirm if you did a bigger laptop version of this with even version history for writers, authors, columnists, journalist, etc. like myself, I guarantee we will buy it. This would an amazing solution to keeping our writing AI free for those that don't want to AI. Good Luck to you! <3

  I audibly gasped with joy when the blue one did its little startup chime. 😅 I'm an avid enjoyer of beeps and boops.

  Good job bro. We need to bring back the PDA. A small pocket computer that runs for ages and is modifiable sounds like &nbsp;a great toy.

  Simple things can give purpose and enjoyment. I&apos;m not good with words, but this gives me a &quot;coming home after a long day and leaving all your troubles at the door&quot; kind of vibe. Not everything in life has to be about ultra versatility/efficiency. Sometimes its enough for something to just be enjoyable

  I remember years ago looking at the Casio digital diary and thinking how cool it was to have so I could write whatever I want wherever without a physical book and pencil. Then I saw how limiting the device was.<br><br>Now, about 27 years later, that hope sparks strong like a bonfire. Glad to support this project of yours, and the idea that supports it.

  Your local library has a 3d printer?? No way, I&apos;m so jealous. Anyway love this project as always, I have no need for it myself but it makes me absurdly happy to see :)
