I am referring to me not America or Americans.
I would have been spoiled by the American Industry which dumps so many gadgets as toys.
My parents (American patents) would have given me gadgets not books with substance.
One line about my father, who bought me gadgets and before I could master it it is given as a gift to a guy who won't appreciates it's value in face and deep.
That annoyed me a lot but being wiser from my young age never expressed my inside to parents, teachers or any sundry.
Building stuff stopped from a polish tin microphone and a speaker.
It worked in one of the school exhibitions with long wiring but nobody took notice of it.
Dished out as primitive.
They even ignored the collection of leaves I displaced with intent (why the particular texture and form).
So I knew I am not going to have good teachers to spoil me and I built up my own scheme (nobody believed I could ever enter the University, it was for the Exclusive Club).
In America I would have been inundated with promotions and luxury of my talent at a particular point and Microscope would have been a gift and there onwards one way track.
In Ceylon I could not buy a digital microscope for my research work.
I bought a Children's Microscope from Amazon spending my own money and it was one dished out cheap since the new model was coming.
That microscope enough for meet to photograph a selection of my slides.
Job done.
Being in Ceylon we get gadgets decade or more later once they are dumped as not worth.
My entry into networking and PCs two decades later, I believe.
The entry of Linux was a by product.
The cellphones was the last I got interested in and I earned how to use one of them from my daughter..
The name was not Apple but GreenTel.
I was interested in Fdroid but it never came to Ceylon.
The whole idea is fabricating Google Android.
Pone OS has come out when interest was waning.
Good on my time and cash.
/e/install cannot be downloaded to a cellphone. it has to be downloaded to a PC with the cellphone jacked into the PC by an esoteric wire.
I have pulled out my Ethernet Wire and no Internet.
There is no WiFi mode of installation.
Very primitive even for Ceylon.
What is the benefit for Ceylon, the Pine phone and its OS?
I will go back to my writing mode in Debian and AbiWord is out of my use.
Figure out to use it via a USB which I have in plenty.
Puppy Linux may be my saviour.
