Okay, here's a long shot for the #Fedi hive mind. If you are in the intersection of "#musician or musician-adjacent in the 1980s" and "keyboard / #synthesizer aficionado", this one is for you.
In the mid- to late-80s, I used to spend a lot of time in music / #instrument stores (not selling CDs, selling guitars and amps and drums and whatnot). Synthesizer tech was advancing rapidly at this point, with digital starting to overtake analog by leaps and bounds.
At some point, one of the stores got a new #keyboard model in. I can't swear to it, but I think it was either a #Roland or a #Korg. This one had a floppy drive built in, on the side of the #synth. And they had a demo on a floppy disk that was incredible at the time.
It wasn't an official #demo disk. It was a normal consumer floppy, presumably copied far and wide. Hand-Sharpied on it was the name/title "Amin Phone". It was a musical, bright and upbeat piece, rock/pop, maybe 30s long, and included digital samples of a person's voice.
The entire thing was a ridiculous #answering machine outgoing #message. I think there was even a sampled voice at the end taken from someone leaving a message, commenting on it being over-the-top or something.
"Amin phone" is unsearchable on the 'net. Everyone has a phone, and there are millions of people named Amin or el-Amin.
Anyone else remember this? Anyone actually able to point to a recording of it?

I'm back on GrapheneOS ☺️
I settled for an Google Pixel 10 Pro XL.
Will try to keep that for two years but we'll see. I have a tendency to buy new hardware quite often. (way too often).
And of course I started donating to GrapheneOS again.
Today I found a great keyboard that has support for auto correct in many languages, my included (Swedish).
The keyboard app is HeliBoard, an actively developed fork of OpenBoard.
So far I've found one app that does not really work with GrapheneOS and that is a car parking app (Parkering Göteborg), but I haven't used that in ages and I've read that there should be other ways to pay for parking in Göteborg when / if I go there again.

Wrapped up my latest custom #keyboard today. It’s a single handed keeb designed exclusively for playing #ArcRaiders . Designed in TinkerCad and #3dprinted on my #Prusa mk4. Then hand painted with Panduro Hobby Acrylics and dusted with weathering powders. Running #kmk on a #seeed Xiao #rp2040.
