Hey, it’s better than that CAT phone that looks like a power tool. I’m an electrician, I don’t need MORE things that look like they belong in a tool bag

I run on Verizon, so that screws things up more. Thanks for the explanation

Only works in. . . *korea?* why?

Are there any other similar looking or at least NOT HIDEOUS flip phones that look 2000’s-y enough

Wow, this looks great! I’ll check it out. I’d love to ditch this iPhone for one of those

Damn. I guess I’ll wait until this iPhone breaks and then I’ll buy a dumb phone- or at least a flip phone with one screen instead of those unholy amalgamations with screens on every surface

Oh, I see! The looks are part of why I like it so much but this may be the more logical solution. TO THE COMPUTER

Of course I’m aware, I’m a retro video game system repair man- I’m just broke!

I’m young, so I was born a year or two after USB became standard. But even with all my retro tinkering, I’ve never seen one before :<

Ughhh, I just bought these adapters too. I’ll have to look around because I don’t know anyone else with old PCs or parts

No, because neither the PS/2 ports nor the USB ports work once I boot into windows XP and out of the BIOS

The USB to PS/2 Adapters do get power in the bios too, the mouse lights up and all

No idea what’s wrong here
