   Got my ClockworkPi Gameshell order cancelled, even though it was almost ready to ship. It's a neat looking device and if it's like the DevTerm, building it would be fun, but it took so long, and there are much better alternatives now. It has long boot times, and more importantly it doesn't have shoulder buttons unless you have the ugly "LEGO" back plate with the extra module that juts out and makes it not pocketable. Ultimately, mulling over it as the shipping dates kept slipping over and over again, these became deal-breakers.
   
   Instead I ordered the cheaper and better looking Miyoo Mini.

      I think what ultimately convinced me to get the Miyoo instead is finding out it has a replaceable battery. It's even in the "battery compartment", no need for even a screwdriver. Even though I'm sometimes forced to anyway, I hate buying devices with non-user replaceable batteries, because it's a guarantee that one's time with a device has a finite lifespan. I like old electronics, I don't want them to die. I keep using them whenever possible. If the old stuff from the 80s, 90s and 00s I collect and use were all using non-standard and/or non-replaceable sealed batteries, most of it would just be in a landfill now.
