Not all late adopters are afraid of technology

[feldman]

 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.
