Not all late adopters are afraid of technology

 Sometimes we just want it to be worth the learning curve. 

I've updated my phone under protest, due to having to restart it thrice a day to force texts out of the buffer, usually once by pulling the battery.  If I didn't need it for work AND have the option of doing it roughly for free,  it wouldn't have happened. But I could upgrade and keep unlimited data on essentially two work phones,  so I bit the bullet.

I spent a good chunk of yesterday mucking through settings and menus,  installing my preferred software, pulling weeds off the home screens.  It's thin and light, but unwieldy for tiny hands.  I'm skipping a few generations of smartphone where they apparently interbred with tablets and fucking pinball machines. 

On the plus side,  this phone plays nice with the posting interface.
