I wonder how it compared to the keyboard on the N97. Though it was a symbian based phone, the putty client allowed you to connect to a server and attach to a screen or tmux session, which worked okay with that keyboard and a few on-screen

They had released the N9 and there was a developer only N950. I'm still using my N9 even today though the lock mechanism on the SIM holder no longer works.

Regarding transmission though, why hasn't the automatic transmission handly beaten the manual transmission in the rest of the world? My guess is because of the increased cost of maintenance and repair. I guess people are more willing

You're only able to access the service using the credentials you use for your internet connection. What other people post is not under the ISPs control, nor is what you post. Back when ISPs provided access to usenet, they never filter

And these messaging platforms did not require an exorbitant amount of computing resources to run. They were responsive to keyboard input (no signficant lag), and, as I recall, allowed one to keep a local log of messages sent and received.

POP, IMAP and NNTP are also plain text protocols. What's interesting about SMTP as well as NNTP is that the data phase in the former as well as the post phase in the latter allow for all ascii characters to be transmitted as is withou
