Dr. Mabuse may have been an EP or 12” single released ahead of the album; most of the performers involved were already well- established in their own countries. The one who stands out is David Silvian who showed on my radar a couple of years earlier as the Frontman for Japan.

Charles Schultz, as a syndicated cartoonist, was both an excellent & prolific author AND an excellent & prolific writer. Those are two separate vocations while most of us only have the time for one. I would be surprised if he even thought of any kind of music for the story because he would have been too busy working with the team of animators.
Roughly 25 years ago I paid the equivalent of about $600 but our dollar was trading close to par back then, for an inferior product (lead-acid gel cells, heavier steel frame, etc).
Today, most ebikes are lighter due to the energy storage medium (litium-ion or lithium polymer), lighter frame (less payload == less steel), aluminum wheels, etc. At today’s exchange rate it would set me back about USD$2,000. Trikes probably cost more due to higher shipping costs necessitated by the increased weight (~150-200%) so you probably paid about the same.
After all, it’s ultimately about Value. Like Beauty, it is in the Eye of the Beholder.
I cannot challenge what you post because I have no *direct* experience with iPhones. I’ve attempted to troubleshoot and gave up, much to the chagrin of people who assume that as a Software Developer, I must also be the Expert on Anything That Uses Electicity.
My own direct experience with smartphones is with android OS on Motorola and Samsung with Telus and Freedom Mobile; for *my own* purposes, Motorola phones and Samsung Tablets are the best value.
No, nor did I say whether they were well-paid or not. If you disagree, quote any post on my thread and I’ll either post a correction or I’ll simply ignore you.
I found that reliability of smartphones depends more on the reliability of the service provider, not the hardware itself which is usually more than adequate for most customers.
Even this Roman Catholic knows that “Christian Nationalist” is an oxymoron, but the a lot of “Real Christians” insist that Catholics are not Christians so what do I know.
