Hey Carl.
Good to hear from you. I'd been wondering where you'd got to. It would be great to see you back. My education in old Russian poetry has stalled badly in your absence, plus no one else seems to want to argue about stress promotion
Maybe it's time to invest in a cheap laptop of you own? The Sphere is so low-tech that even the oldest, lowest-spec computer would suffice. Or for an even more low-budget workaround to one-finger pecking, you could connect a computer keyboard to your phone, via bluetooth or USB cable.
