I was a species of "mid-early adopter", probably. All should be much easier now. In any case I eventually stopped to use the older model because it was just a little cumbersome to move it around with the laptop all day.
It was a nice piece of hardware. Is a pity to hear that they are now tracking what users do with their computers. For me this is a no-way (It seems that I did the right thing dismissing the second model).
