No, but I still prefer a simple carburettor and ignition amplifier over anything overcomplicated with a computer.
I can get everything I need to get done, done, with a C64, and this "smartphone". In 198x, I got everything done with a C64, and it still does all those things. Except, I don't find much need to print with colour graphics these days.
I don't "need" to do websurfing anyway. A few years ago, I simply didn't. I severed ties with my ISP in 2011, and didn't bother getting a new one till.. well, I don't know exactly what year it was, but it was fairly recent.
I prefer to do everything I can with an older computer. It doesn't make sense to me to do text-only file editing on a xGHz CPU with xGb of RAM. So, if I don't have to buy one of those, I won't. Actually, people keep giving them to me and they're starting to pile up in the closet. Things are much more tolerable when the computer does what I tell it to do, instead of what Microsoft, or whoever, decides I want it to do.
I never considered myself a "vintage computer collector". I just never stopped using them. The only reason I went back to a C64 though was because my Amiga died, and I lost my internet connection anyway.
Oh, and that infernal buzzing, it's a song. I haven't heard it in a while, but I remember it. Actually it was several songs. Each connection speed had its own tune.
