When you’re not paying, or not paying MUCH for a ‘product,’ YOU are the ‘product!’

‘Tain’t Rocket Science.

Wait just a darn minute! You mean when I’m on FB or PRETTY MUCH ANYWHERE ELSE on the WWW that ads for Zappos Shoes and Kohl’s Department Store don’t just MAGICALLY appear in my peripheral vision all by demsefs?

That’s it. You passport is revoked.

Internal exile for you. We don’t have Siberia, so we have to send you to Cleveland where you will be bored to death.

I’ll just copy my response from a Windows 10 post four days ago; “Thanks, I’ll save this post for later. I’ll be glad to get rid of 8.1 but I think I’ll let 10 soak in with the general public for a while first.”

I hope Windows 10 is not a, “if it seems to good to be true, it probably is”.

If it’s an Apple free zone, I welcome Exile. That means the odds of liberals being there are significantly reduced. Cleveland must be heaven ;)
