I'm at that weird cusp where hardware is concerned.

Do I want to wait until new models are released in the off chance they up specs I find meaningful or do I buy now before Apple has a chance to make some stupid change regarding ports and such that I don't want - Or before they eliminate the Air entirely because you know they want to?

I think I'm buying now.

I was awful for cigars too so it worked out.

@kdfrawg I was just a classic zippo guy. :)

They aren't svelte. Big weighted pendulum turns a shaft at very high rpms. The generated electricity is stored in a lithium ion cell. Most of these things are men's watches only because of the size of the movements.

@kdfrawg And the pendulum is, indeed, not even noticeable. I wonder what it was about the design of the earlier ones that made the pendulums click like they did.

LOL. I'm still, out of reflex, avoiding sudden movements of my arm.

@kdfrawg I'd forgotten how beefy the things were. Not as bad as the first bunch, though.

@kdfrawg A question that has been asked ever since people started chucking spears at game instead of throwing rocks at it.

Okay. Now I don't have to pull out my phone to tell the time1. Nor do I ever have to change a battery.

@kdfrawg This is a journey with no final destination. Our imperfections pretty much dictate that.

@skematica This tech is useless to me until I can be cloned so I can have a day off occasionally
