BTW: I'm currently 49 years old, have a little more than "normal" activity
on the net, worked as Unix Sysop for many years...but I still don't know
what for I should need Twitter and Facebook.. Interesting, but it requires:
a) The purchase of a $50+ piece of hardware
b) That you store all your images on their web site.
DriveWire requires that you build a single cable (peanut expenditure)
and let's you store things on your own computer.
Maybe I'm just a curmudgeon, but I do not like the current trend towards
putting my own data on third-party remote sites.

THANK GOD...someone else who Gets It!

New Kensington, PA PS: We have here in Germany aggressive Advertising
from the German Telekom
for their Cloud system.
"Die Telekom Cloud!" ...since they must use english vocables in any sentence
where it is possible to get "a modern image".
Yeah, if they were at least consistent, but this "stylish" mixing of german
and english words tends to produce some seriously cringeworthy things.
For any normal German that sounds like "Die
Telekom klaut!" wich means in
German that they are stealing ..
Nothing wrong with that perception ...
Hey, they are a telco. By definition, that means they are evil and should
not be trusted. ;-)
Kind regards,
Alex.
