And it played MP3's and videos.
It even played Flash ... which is probably also due in iPhone 12!

I was working in 2001 on the design of a phone that contained a touchscreen. It was not a commercial success (high price, poor user design), but it shows that people were designing such phones well before Apple started the iPhone project.
As for "working great", my wife has an iPhone 6 that cost more than twice as much as my Samsung S5 Neo, and doesn't seem much faster. I don't see that the UI is that much better, either; certainly not worth a 100% price premium over another well-known brand.
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Long ago I thought an Apple ][ would have been nice, but the new Atari 800 also had something.

This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

Brainwashed here means someone who locked in his/her own fashion dictated world and can't see nothing out of it, and for that will buy a new phone, just because it is of a certain brand and new!!! Now brainwashed may be not the perfect word, but IDIOT is!!!

Not too much in it yet. Just some HashAlgorithm extensions (hashing strings and comparing hashes), some IEnumerable<T>; extensions (None [determines if there are no elements], EmptyIfNull [should be self explanatory], and additional implementations of Min and Max that allow passing custom IComparer<T> implementations (or a Comparison<T>), and a class for cross-platform dynamic loading of shared libraries.
The dynamic loading thing is rather interesting, and involves wrapping platform-specific methods to a common interface, and exposing delegates that use one of the implementations depending on the platform (another class that only tells you what platform you are running on, Win32, Mac, or Linux).
Any ideas for extensions/other things?
Currently planned:
* A generic XmlSerializer
* A base implementation of IExtenderProvider
* Some Stream extensions for getting a cryptographic hash
* Some extensions for System.Security.Cryptography.RandomNumberGenerator for getting basic numeric types
* Some similar extensions for the System.Random class

I wrote an extension for DataContext to make Linq2SQL thread safe, here.[^]
Still, I get the feeling I'm going down a rabbit hole I shouldn't need to.

Trakfone said I need a 4 gen phone as my Matrix 1999 flip phone will no longer work on their network. They sent me one free 4 gen phone to replace my 2nd gen phone.
So I was playing with it while on the John Crapper trying to get it configured, John Macafee took my picture and sent it to me via my email account. Somethin about my touch codes wern't in order or something.
I believe this to be bad form, what department should I complain too?

Lots of phone security apps do that -- if you enter an incorrect password, they take a photograph of you.
I think it's called the "pic or it didn't happen" feature.

I thought that this coffee mug[^] would make the perfect addition to my growing collection but I really want one for work.

It's a thermo-coloury-changery one, so you can't put it in a microwave*
The result of that would be a huge reduction in my caffeine intake.
* Well, you can, but only if you don't turn the microwave on
