Ha! Thanks, dude (and everyone else who replied!) The misses and I are spending a long weekend tromping around in Paulie's neck of the woods. I picked way too hot of a weekend to do this, sweating my balls off down here, but Portland is always a great time.

(I think this is the first time I've legitimately used MuffinTerm on my old iPad with a compact bluetooth keyboard. Disappointed it doesn't support SSH yet, but besides that, it works damn well.

Pick me up some mushrooms while you're out that way, yeah?

When I traveled a ton for work, having MuffinTerm was a godsend. I could get my BBSing on whenever I wanted. I also have my iPad on a cellular plan so I can literally just open the thing up and start telnetting.

I was in the woods in my tin can, and it was just too hot, I came home
and hugged my a/c for pretty much all of yesterday.

It works in a pinch doesn't it?

If you were close to the Toronto area I could help. We're gonna
hit roseneith sometime this week. Native reserve it's a great place
an entire strip of stores selling tobaco, weed, mushrooms etc. All
semi-legal. LOL

Ha, nice. I think shrooms are in the illegal-but-we-dont-really-care status in California, as it turns out. Most dispensaries evidently do have mushroom infused chocolates and stuff for sale.

Sorry, bud. I'm pretty sure Portland rescinded that whole "all drugs are now decriminalized, have fun!" thing earlier this year. :P

When I traveled a ton for work, having MuffinTerm was a godsend. I could get my BBSing on whenever I wanted. I also have my iPad on a cellular
plan so I can literally just open the thing up and start telnetting.

I'm considering getting a new tablet now, but this old thing still does most of what I need it for (surfing the web and watching YouTube, along with being a shitty laptop in a pinch.) It's funny, IOS went from having zero decent options for BBSing (outside of relying on web clients, of course) to probably having the best almost instantly, unless there's some really good Android options I'm on aware of. Any Android users want to chime in on what's out there?

I'd say its even better than that - it's a pretty good client, overall. The only reason I still won't use it often is that I really only whip out my keyboard when traveling. I have a pretty slick one that matches the form factor of my iPad, clipping to it to allow it to fold like a laptop, but having that thing attached means otherwise sacrificing the simple tablet form factor, so it's a big trade off.

I'm a big fan of my iPad. At times I use it more than my laptop...it's just so convenient. Having the keyboard attachment renders a laptop almost redundant for many tasks.

I use the official Apple keyboard attachment. It folds up smartly and takes very little room, yet the keyboard feels great. I have the one with the trackpad but honestly never use that aspect of it, so if you were in the market, I'd say skip the trackpad and save some cash.

I understand that. Years ago I used to travel more for work and for fun
I did long distance motorcycle rides. (I could have filed paperwork for
the iron butt, however I didn't do it for that reason) and I had a foldable keyboard for my PalmOS device. I did a lot of writing on that thing, a lot
of spreadsheets etc. Looking back I did way more on those Palm devices
then I do on my modern phone / tablet.

There was a guy in the 1990s that wrote a book on a Palm Pilot - then
wrote a book about writing a book on his Palm Pilot. On his Palm Pilot.
Jeff Kirvin.

ABOUT JEFF

There is absolutely no truth to the rumors that Jeff Kirvin has been an
Army Ranger, a trauma surgeon, a Martian or a small koala. In fact, Jeff doesn't even know how these rumors get started. He certainly doesn't
start them himself on Twitter.

The real story, as these things often are, is more prosaic. Jeff has
worked at the Pentagon as part of the United States Air Force, been a world-renown mobile technology pundit and is, in fact, a distant
chipmunk on the horizon. He's been telling stories since he was old
enough to make recognizable sounds, and doesn't intend to stop any time
soon.

I don't think so. I believe the original decriminalization thing was for "hard drugs" and now thats been rolled back. Obviously that covers fentanyl, and I'm also 99% sure that all of the mofos dying from fentanyl was what led to it being recriminalized, but yeah, it more general.

I don't think those existed when I bought my iPad. I have one made by Brydge. It's pretty impressive. Folds up against the iPad like a laptop and matches the color and style, good feeling backlit keyboard, some other controls. It's pretty nice. No clue how it stands up to Apple's though. I'd like it if mine had a trackpad too, but it's not really needed. For most things you're navigating with touch like normal, and if you want to type, you type. My only issue is having to fight my impulse to reach for a trackpad or mouse.
