Marginally productive day thus far.

A law that can never be broken.

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?

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.
