I don't mean to be critical but I don't get the goal of these articles. Why say you're not going to buy something because it doesn't fit your lifestyle? Especially on things where you admit you probably buck the popular trend? Personally I won't ever buy an espresso machine or a micro-brewery because I don't drink coffee or beer. However I also don't feel the need to justify or explain that even though both are fairly mainstream activities. They are just devices that don't fit my needs. If you do things differently and it works for you then kudos, I like original thinking. It doesn't really make an argument however for why a device shouldn't work for others? Just my 2c and trying to understand the motivation here. Then again with the elimination of the penny here in Canada 2c rounds down to Zero, so take that for what it's worth. :)
