I don't have a mobile phone. I don`t therefore have a mobile telephone number. I really can`t be bothered .... it's just another spam facility to pedal advertising, thinly disguised as a social tool.
As to mini computers... I just don`t get that. Don't even use a laptop. The company gave me a brand new laptop... Don`t tell them but its by the TV collecting dust.. Never been used.
I love computers though. Real computers for doing interesting purposeful stuff. Yet seriously I don't have 'one' computer. :-)
As to Microshite.... I had to box and bag the Elite... They wanted me to subscribe to their live crap or I wouldn`t be able to play. Thing is that's just another advertising tool. Not interested. Never will be.
PS: And Apple are even worse than MS. You buy Quicktime you get stuffed with iTunes. You see iTunes downloads and then asks you if you want to update. NO GO AWAY. And then evil Bonjour which kicks me out of applications when they don`t even ask. Its a handshaking torrent thing. And then there is real crappy Adobe. Any Adobe product that insists on checking for updates... every time you use it. I don`t have a PDF reader here for that reason. I really wish Apple would curl up into a corner and die like they should have done years ago. I have no idea who subsidises their rubbish. Then that would just leave the giant MS to fall over. It will happen. One day.
My path with computing parted years ago when the community decided in favour of a glorified home entertainments facility driven by advertising and 'online' ... all the time. Not interested.
