I had one that I was glued to during my adolescence, constantly IM'ing with friends during the twilight of IM, before smartphones became dominant. Extremely durable, it was more capable than you would think. The lack of devices of a similar quality and form factor is extremely dissapointing; everything's lighter now but also flimsier. They were one of the greatest consumer devices of the era.
I still keep an old EEE PC around running XP, airgapped, for compatibility with old hardware I collect that VMs run into USB issues around. Runs great, parts are still available.
