Oh man. I remember vividly when I, back the 90s, learned Japanese (not because of anime) through a university-program that assigned you a Japanese and they teached you Japanese while you teached them German. So one day this awesome dude pulled out a Sony ebook. And used it like it was just a cup of tea. My eyes fell out, we didn't have ebooks for another 20yrs.

Of course it was a fat brick, but he had everything on it and it was so mighty cool. This day I thought hard about emigration and felt like we were in the darn midage 😑
