Thanks for providing constructive feedback.......... Mr. S reallly likes to thrown bombs......and possibly that type of approach may be necessary to create blowback on the impending Orwellian state that seems (in my mind) to be expanding with way to much rapidity on some of my more " the glass is not half full " days. It's simply astonishing the collapse in price of storage devices..... you can go out and buy a terrabyte of storage for a few hundred bucks; today.... and I recall reading a McKinsey Report last year that was pointing out that the entire library of Congress could be contained using a 6.6 terrabyte server. We are already 10 plus years past the point where every bit of digital information that we generate, use and access is so transparent and available for inspection......especially with Artificial Intelligence programs..... that the NSA..... Gooogle, MSFT, the major phone companies can keep track of where our GPS cell phones have been 24/7 going back for years. The CBS show "person of interest" is a kind of scary show which alluded to departments that track people activities that the offficial government agencies do not want to officially pursue. no wonder that some people want to continue to use cash in transactions as the data on what you are doing wiht it is not being collated and analyzed.
