Fabric is my choice. Metal bands tend to be heavy and their edges dig into my wrist. Silicone bands aren't breathable. Nylon webbing is breathable and very light. There are times when I forget I'm wearing the watch.

The guy has a weird obsession with that letter. He did name one of his sons "X Æ A-12" after all.

Huh? How can this "break" a precedent? Set one, but hardly break one.

I have an 80lb ebike, single 750w, 48v @ $1.8k. Easy to ride without the electric and on some crazy hills in SW Pennsylvania. 

you can peddle easy to 30mph, so it's not even fast.

This is one of those ebikes that markets hard to swindle noobs out of money. Cheap frame, parts, and low range.

My 1.8k bike does around 50 miles on throttle without peddling and tops out at 30mph, has a far better frame, and got it on Amazon, Fucare Gemini x.

You really don't see the difference? Of course you don't. Actual cyclists and e-bikers know that you don't "peddle" bikes, unless you work in a bike shop. There's peddling and then there's pedaling. And did you notice that your Gemini has adjustable seat height and a saddle with a narrow nose? That makes it fairly easy to pedal, unlike a Super73 with low seat height and wide seat, meaning those cranks are basically cosmetic. Not that I expect you to pedal much, as you yourself admit. You just rely on the electric motor and basically fan the pedals with no pressure to speak of. I have an actual e-bike. It complies with federal law with regard to speed. I can pedal it without power. I doubt very much you can pedal your Gemini at any real speed for any real distance, given its weight and fat, slow tires. So you don't really have an e-bike. It's an e-moped, just like old gas-powered mopeds that couldn't be and weren't pedaled much either.

Really? $500 for a typewriter? You have to be delusional! You can find literally thousands of dedicated word processors on eBay and other used equipment sellers. Brands you've actually heard of, like Brother, IBM, Smith Corona, and Panasonic. All of which will set you back less than $200.

Reminds me of the NEC Mobilepro 750C that I owned over 20 years ago. That was small and portable like this, easier to carry than even a 12" Powerbook G4. The keys were a little smaller than normal, but easy enough to get used to. I got quite a bit typed on that.
