Then there are those things you want from cyber space and things you’d like to Delete.

Then there are those things you love, but find difficult to have. Example, I have been looking over many searches to find my Google Desktop. Something I used to enjoy and relish for its expediency, in finding content. But for some reason in 2011, Google decided to discontinue it. Somebody refurbished the program and its back up for Win 7, 8 . Groovy, maybe now we could get someone to resurrect Clippy, the paper clip assistant from Microsoft’s Office programs. Which really could be kuel.

Of course there are those things that you’d like to delete. Not programs persay, but those things we get in our inbox, that we have no interest in any more. Like Information Age’s email news. I gave up all the Spencer Davis publications when I found that KATT was a hot young intern that got the shaft by a adult supervisor. Plus when they decided to go strictly digital. The content , the news the entire publication went into the pigeon shit pile, but no matter how many times I punch unsubscribe, it keeps coming.

The news service called Politico, is the same way. After the 2008 elections I did not need that 411, I wanted to opt out. Problem is, Politico will not let you opt out. There’s several online colleges that are the same way. Unless you can drive, physically to one of their campus’ to discuss the serious reasons they need to quit bothering you, they will pester you, for months. If you can’t drive to a campus, the only alternatives are a heated phone call or the email to them that reads, don’t go away mad, just go the fuck away. Street metaphorically correct adjectives are appropriate. It does get their attention.

The reason these outfits keep pestering you, like that is so that you will break down and enroll. In the case with Politico, numbers equate to ad dollars. Giving you the ability to opt out drops their ad income about $10,000.00 per user per page. So no way they’re letting you go, without a very strong conversation via a lengthy long distant phone call.

Now if I can get my dream, again, my little buddy, Clippy back.

2 Corinthians 5:19-20“that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting people’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation. We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.” Brought to you by BibleGateway.com. Copyright (C) .
