Chapter 4 - Del is working on something REAL BIG - but the bouncer doesn't get it

THE STORY OF DEL - Delete

Even in his messed-up state, Del knew it was decidedly wrong to ruin someone's $320 Carré d’agneau de Pauillac rôti en cocotte gâteau d’aubergines for any reason whatsoever…

...let alone with a ghastly spectacle of 'Turds sur la Lawn,' but there was an obsessed method to his madness, a reason behind it all that made him talk back to the cops and bouncers who'd promptly hustle him off the premises. No! He wasn't merely defecating on private property, no, no, no! It was for a noble cause, it was high-tech... it was research... it was... it was…

Once, while being hauled away, he even told the strapping bouncer that he could understand and forgive the equivocation. He himself had run a Google search and in all of human history - surely a very long time! - only 423 people had ever called crapping outside expensive restaurants 'High-Tech' or 'Research.' 423 out of the 107 billion people calculated to have ever lived on Planet Earth gave Del's claim only a zero point 00000000395327102803 per cent chance of corroboration...

...so yes, he understood the man's misgivings and had no trouble forgiving him.

Chapter 29 - Imagine editing faster on an iPad Mini than a computer! Voilà

THE STORY OF DEL - Delete Good morning, Del! Good morning to you, my beautiful Juula! What's the matter, you look sad. No, I'm impatient. I want a sneak peak at some of the things that connective editing can do. Before the bla-bla-bla explanations? Yeah... just like that. Are you afraid they're gonna pull the plug and put me out of my misery? Stop it, Del, please! I'm sorry. All right here's a quick and dirty demo. But then we'll do it right, we'll explain it calmly, all right? I promise!

Chapter 28 - A 1-touch text editor for phones and tablets. Exercise 1) - zapping words

THE STORY OF DEL - Delete Guten morgen, Schatz! Danke, meine Liebe! What have you got for me today? Well, I wanted to show you how one single Connective Editing button obeying a simple instruction, has got all the other editing apps for handhelds beat - and as a matter of fact it's even snappier than what's normal on a regular sit-on-your butt computer. Wow... I'm all in. Actually, you ARE! Because this new single instruction will be the new DEL. And any app would be foolish to ignore the wonderful ease and power it offers. But then... But then... ? I want to be on a keyboard too! You do? Yes, I want to marry you and live on an extra keyboard row with you. Have you been smoking something, Juula? Absolutely not. I never do that stuff. Right, sorry... I didn't mean it that way. I want to join you and be a second button that completes the new DEL. Then if we have children, the DEL and JUULA family can revolutionize editing. I love it. I know it soun

Chapter 25 - The Microsoft Whammy - How Bill Dust-in-the-Sky Gates messed up editing for humanity.

THE STORY OF DEL - Delete "Hi Del, are you ready for more exciting adventures in text editing?" "You are the sunshine of my life!" "I'll take that to mean yes. Yesterday you said something spot on!" "I did?" "Yes sir... You said: "We humans end the selection where we do to CONNECT to the sense of what is being written." Absolutely true! Sometimes the words even seem to call each other: Merry splinter Kleenex guardrail whippersnapper tear Boeing shoebox Christmas "Thinking things through last night I discovered how Bill Dust-in-the-Sky Gates put a whammy on text editing. To be polite I called it the 'Microsoft Anomaly'. Are you ready for it?" "Fire away!" The Microsoft Anomaly God is in the details (And so is Bill Gates) Why does one go through the trouble of highlighting text? Principally for 4 reasons (of course I'm generalizing). 1.
