time to consider if the purpose of running an #odl has served its cause. 4yrs of education, demonstrating the multidevice reality of webland

Keeping up with state-of-the-market devices is hard, and a never ending task that's too big for a non-commercial side project.

sadly realizing that in this fast paced market the majority of our devices are becoming more like museum's stock. odlffm.de/de#devices
