35 years ago (!), I bought my first Macintosh computer. Well, actually, it wasn’t a Mac. It was an Atari ST520. I had grandiose visions of a Mac, but the price was a little outside my budget at the time (I mean I was only 24). I had recently started my business,...

At the beginning of June 2020, I backed a new product on Kickstarter from Huami Amazfit. I finally received the promised product, the Amazfit X smart watch. It’s no Apple Watch for sure, and you know, I’m ok with that. I was a watch wearer for many, many years....
