The Story
---------

FRST started as a question: what if personal computers were
still personal?  What if you could hold your whole digital
life in your hands — files, messages, programs — without
a cloud account, without ads, without an algorithm deciding
what you see next?

The CyberTerminal is our answer.  It's a computer that does
exactly what you tell it to, nothing more, nothing less.
It connects to your neighbors over radio, not the internet.
It displays text on e-ink that's easy on your eyes.  It runs
Forth and plays Zork and shows you the phase of the moon.

It's not for everyone.  It's for the few of us.
