Same here, but I'm really glad I got it. It has a built in alarm clock! Also if you remember to turn on low power mode after charging it, the charge lasts for a week, and there don't seem to be any negative effects.

As an Xer and some would argue a near Core Xer if one uses 85 as their cut off (I don't know why, 82 seems about right for me for the last year of Xers--and I'm not going to argue with Aspie here on Cusps because well he's being an Aspie). We were largely shaped by the end of the Cold War. The fall of the Berlin Wall was a major event, and not just in Europe. Also the dissolution of the USSR was a major event.
So do us boomers who fought in the Cold War get any credit, the way GI do from Silents? Or was the end of the Cold War just a random event that was nice?

As a 1960 boomer I don't remember the Kennedy assassination, though I was overseas at the time. I remember Katrina even though I'm from Boston - it was a big storm even up here - but not so much I'd consider it a good turning marker.

I'm not even sure my 11 year old isn't a Millenial. Depends on when the war comes.
Oh, and nice to see you again!
