   They used to make word processors...

   Like. Just turn the laptop on, and it was a word processor.

   A portable, electronic, type writer with a screen.

   I looked up the modern equivalent. The Freewrites and the like... and holy crap they're like $500. Are you kidding me?!

   I'm going to make a word processor.

   Be right back...

     Because with Ubuntu server / headless, we don't need automounting of USBs because that would be stupid.

     Ok. I'm going to try a desktop version of ubuntu and remove gnome and just go to console and see if that works.

     And I swear to Eris if anyone recommends Arch, I'm going to dropkick a massive UDP stream in your direction.

     I don't know what that meant... but it sounded funnier in my head....

     Anyways... this is fun and good for my soul. I haven't been this annoyed by computers in a while.

     Not a typewriter, my ass.

     You ARE a typewriter, whether you like it or not... Just you wait....

     Quick aside while I burn my day doing this.

     I know how to do this...
     ...but all of that knowledge goes obsolete every four months.

     But I know how to approach and learn this...
     ...but search engines SUCK now (an AI... literally, you have no idea what you're talking about).

     Also, the Acer Aspire One netbook (DOES ANYONE REMEMBER NETBOOKS?!?!?! FUCK YOU CHROMEBOOKS!!!!) was the best piece of hardware ever made.

     Ever.

     Ever ever.

     Okay, back to this. On my fifth iteration...

     (apparently usbmount is no longer part of ubuntu packages)
