       I own a miniature "netbook computer", the best selling type of computer from 2009 to 2011 (I believe) that's been unused for 8 years. Unlike the last generation of netbooks, with larger screens and normal sized keyboards, my Eee-PC 900A is a real 1st gen netbook: the keyboard is the right size for touch-typing toddlers and the 8GB flash is, like, small. It has a 32bit CPU; Bookworm is the final #Debian release supporting it. It now runs the latest Firefox ESR. Slow, but it works.#netbook

       @tg9541 nice. @katyswain and I used to have the same or very similar. I remember posting and reading status.net and identi.ca posts on it. #eeepc

       Some finding: browsing the Internet, also posting on Mastodon works. That doesn't mean it's convenient. The scrolling speed is sufficiently slow to demand conscious decisions about what's up next. The battery is now almost 15 years old. It's still good enough for an hour or so, but I've got a feeling that it's also the much higher compute demands of today's Internet is to blame. The keyboard also somehow got a hit: the DEL and Backspace keys no longer work. New keyboards cost $7. Worth it?
