Or, heaven forbid, the computer breaks?

The meat market in town sends emails about weekly specials. It's a BCC
list so I don't have to slog through a hundred email address headers to
read what's going on. I can't see how logging into Facebook would be
any faster than reading an email.

I'm only slightly irked by the fact that (for example) the cat litter I
prefer to buy moved everything from their web site to Facebook. I don't
have to re-activate my FB account to look for special offers or print
coupons. It's just the ASSumption that everyone loves FB that bugs me.
My 2 cents.
