It seems like it was only yesterday when I picked up the SM610 from San Ramon… and it may as well have been. I undoubtedly have a history (mental illness) of buying, building, and then promptly selling. Don’t ask what’s wrong with me, because I can’t really say. Notwithstanding, I can give you a reason […]
