Chapter 11 - KAPOWEE!

THE STORY OF DEL - Delete

Heartened, Del checked how Amazon stock was doing and sure enough, it was going great guns! They had just bought the Galápagos Islands from Ecuador...

...and were now investing bigtime in an innovative Hyperloop delivery system that could get any product to its customer within 5 seconds from the order.

Every home would be equipped with a high-tech dumbwaitress called 'Lorraine.'

'Honey, what do you say we buy this Pentola Crockpot Slow Cooker?' 'Sure, Marge, good idea.' CLICK! Mississippi one, Mississippi two, Mississippi three…

WHOOSSSSH -- PLOONK! And voilà Pentola Crockpot Slow Cooker!

One click. A single click of the mouse (or poke of a finger) and through Amazon - thanks also to Del's MINUS 25 dollar investment - every commodity known to man would be instantly available.

One click... like Santo Katrulz!

One click... like Amazon's Lorraine.

And soon, if he worked well and hard: one Click for the late, great and never forgotten Del's Un-doodoo button!

Of course, the supposed evils of life would still happen, but now they'd be short-lived. And if by chance the un-doodoo proved to be worse than the doodoo, there would be a re-doodoo.

What a beautiful thing! Modern hardware at the service of the timeless wisdom of the orient and…

KAPOWEE!

...that's when Del was hit by a speeding, full-electric Toyota.

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. To format - that is, to prettify deservi
