   Exactly - and I've had many motorcycles.

   Don't/won't own a 'smartphone' - and at my age it's
   hard to focus on tiny text. Small laptops are ideal.
   Sometimes people tell me to just use Their App for
   some kind of online services ... I pull out my
   cheapo flip phone, end of discussion  :-)

   I see flips have made a COMEBACK. There's an increasing
   segment who wants 'simple' and to-the-point without all
   the BS. The lid over the main screen is a big plus too.

   The EEEpc was affordable and JUST big enough and the
   performance was 'ok'. Used it for many years. Linux made
   it MUCH better and faster. Alas did not make it immune
   to gravity .......

   I think I made a VM out of Q4OS but never really did much
   with it. Desktops - LXDE if possible, XFCE if not. Like
   them lean and mean without 'eye candy' and such crap.

   Anyway, today, there are a number of lower-end Dells and
   HPs that are fair replacements for the EEEpc. With Win
   they suck, with Lin they LIVE. Had to replace the batt
   in one of my Dells recently though - the thing was
   getting WAY too hot during charging and would never
   quite fully charge. However the batt was fairly cheap,
   WITH the Dell name, and EZ to replace.
