[Electronics-Talk] accessible, or at least non-wi-fi enabled treadmills

[Moop Curran]

 Hi Robin,

Here is the link to the one we got, in case it doesn't let me post for some
reason, it's called the apex nexus 3.0 walking pad with handlebars and
cupholder, it goes up to 6.2 mph.

Oh, another thing, if you're tall, it probably won't be good for you, as
you'll have to stoop. I'm 4'10, and it's perfect height for me.
