The Daily Novel

Which is what I felt tonight when I tried to close down my computer tonight after a half decent day’s work.

I got repeated messages, not from Spam, which I have leant how to deal with , but from a combined advertising message from three of the biggest and most respectable companies, Toshiba, Compaq and Gateway. I deleted the window but every time I tried to turn off the computer it came back. Writing this after the ninth attempt.

Why are no journalists complaining about this? Which is only one sign of how big companies are taking over the web, while the journalists yap on about the rise of the citizen’s journalism which is still very puny.

I shall have to pull the plug out of the socket. Oh well, at least that will be a contribution to halting climate change.
