I designed this one in Inkscape.
It's based on the Motorola one that was very popular.
I was pretty happy with how it turned out so I figured I'd share it here.

In many ways, the pager was the precursor to text-messaging.
I'm working on this insanely long post about the history of the cell phone, and the transformation into the smartphone. I have hundreds of images, and designs.
Probably a thousand words so far.
I might even make it into a video. I figure if I can lay it all out in a Hive post complete with images; that'll be like a third of the work already done.
But I always think that until I'm a month in trying to get the damn thing finished.

I recorded this with Peek.

A wonderful tool that lets you screen-capture into a .gif.

Designed with: Inkscape

I can't explain how important this piece of software is to me.
I use Inkscape to make basically everything.
I've even used it to design websites back when I still did that lol.
