Yes, those are the only two options. You absolutely have to use every Google service and allow all the trackers in the world to follow you… Am I the only one who remembers a life before Google and the WWW in general?

... only kidding. I cut my milk teeth on one of the very first IBM PCs to emerge into the wild, back in 1984 (same date as the iconic Apple ad, amusingly enough).

I learned to type on an Olympia manual typewriter, transferring to a Smith Corona electric, and then finally a “classic” 128k Mac in 1984. Pretty amazing that you could fit an OS and an app on a 400k floppy and still have room for a few files. I wish today’s Apple engineers and iOS developers practiced such efficient programming. My latest iPad apps are now over 100MB in size! I understand there are more features, but still, the inflation factor for the size of software these days is a bit head spinning.
