...and that closes this chapter of stupid ideas from Ryan. I'm selling audiobooks and signed posters out front if you're interested.

Well, I can't blame you for trying. I hate the visors in my5th gen.

If you hit 3 balls out of 10 in MLB you would be a superstar. In other words, missing 7 out of 10 is nothing to be ashamed of.

So am I ticking that as one more point for the 4th Gen against the 5th Gen or just that you unfortunately failed on the swap?

Good effort though, thanks for spending the money and time to test it out and let us know.

I still want hybrid features. I might still explore deconstructing one or both of them to see if it can work.
