if anyone knows how to get a Gobi 2000 qualcomm cellular modem working on the HP Mini 110 3000 in linux, please interrupt me immediately otherwise Im going to make it a frisbe

when you look into the past with electronics and computing you find all these wacky wild ideas that faded away or got phased out or failed on arrival. all this neat weird stuff.

laptops would use accelrometers to detect if the laptop went into free fall and then the drive would brace for impact to prevent massive damage
