would I get them?
no...
would I make them..
or something like them jury rigged out of toothpicks pipe-cleaners and q-tips?
most certainly...

I have no desire to "chase the (tech.) dragon" ...
for any sort of device ...
it is aimless...
a continuous loop I have no interest in following to end up...as always... exactly where I left off...
I believe in exactly what is needed to survive in this civilization ...and no more...no less...
I determined that a while ago now...

there is more than enough DIY options out there...to accomplish the same ends.
What cannot be done practically and affordably DIY...
Then investing in the barest minimum of tech needed to fulfill whatever day to day need required being the only obligation.

Others may contend that due to their work-work ...
that they cannot take such a path...
that is probably valid and true....

For myself...I aimed ...always... to make my life simpler and less cluttered with distraction and time and money consuming novelty...
It has not been easy to accomplish.. in this world nowadays.. ...

consequently I also feel I am fortunate now that I have enough free time to commit to finding alternates that can suffice ...and that do not need specific gear to accomplish what is needed in my day to day work.
