       | At the time I was only 13 and didn't have a credit card, so
       | couldn't make online purchases. The first thing I did on my 18th
       | birthday, before leaving my room, was to open a PayPal account so
       | I could finally buy things without asking parents.

       | The Kagi model was fine from what I saw, though my experience was
       | always just using trial software and waiting 15 seconds to
       | dismiss the message about Kagi. It's certainly better than the
       | current model, where I can't even download older versions of
       | apps, never mind pay for them.
