A very fortunate person indeed.
For me, $100 is 1/2 a month gas/groceries and I have none extra.
This would make a great sitcom:

But it is rather extreme for real life.
I do not, nor have I suggested that anyone else ALWAYS buy EVERY one of these things.
I have suggested that they are a grand idea for young technologies, a very good idea for handheld electronics - and I have explained rather completely how judicious use of these things has been beneficial to me personally.
Apparently it must be a personal affront to some that this could POSSIBLY be a positive and/or beneficial idea and those same folks feel they MUST tear any such idea down and PROVE what a BAD IDEA it is.
To each their own I say - and you will not find me tracking down something that you consider positive JUST for the purposes of exuding negativity and tearing down your ideas...for a multitude of good reasons !
This all HAS been quite amusing to watch however.
