The engineering firm I worked at had a Lisa that we used for word processing. It was slow but it did the job. We had no idea the machine would usher in the GUI revolution.
I don't blame Garmin for getting a little salty. Apple looks to be making a move into their category. Seems there is money to be made there. Competition is good. I admit I'm giving the Ultra a look. I have the iWatch Series 3 cellular since new but it's kind of slow now.
It kind of works both ways. When stopped by the enforcers, give them as little information as possible. The precise minimal information is dependent on your state.
