It still have mine. The problem was when it didn't support WPA2. I moved
on to a slightly larger Acer 'netbook'.  I'm trying to freshen it up with
a Linux distro but it has a Broadcom chip that isn't recognized. Chicken
and egg since my home setup is strictly wireless. I'm going to try a USB
dongle.

There are 2 reasons I do no longer use it:
1 cannot upgrade the browser
2 its Linux will not see USB 4G dongles as ethernet port automatically
so I cannot use it with my Huawei 4G USB sticks.
(Maybe there is a trick, but that would require a kernel update?).
I do have an old Huawei model E172 3G USB dongle that worked on it,
not tried in 10 years or so..
All providers here are now 4G and talking about 5G.
