Not much I am aware of MS phone home policy but things simply cannot be 
worse then google.
Hopefully in Windows I can delete apps I don't want and apple? I don't 
know, if google gets away with this brutal spying, no doubt others will 
follow.

There is also an widespread attitude that people tent to choose for known 
liers and criminals with the foolish argument that they now know what 
they have.
no matter what an incredible bunch of scum that might be, they still 
choose that above someone else.
I don't!

There is no illusion with apple, they encrypt stuff
so that even they can't snoop on what I am doing.

Well, with Android 6 at least, the external card can be joined to the
internal and store anything. Apparently also applications. I have not tried.

Android wants you to have phones with a very large internal memory and
no external cards. Place the blame where it is due: on the hardware
manufacturer that did not install enough internal memory, because it is
expensive.

On the other hand, it is not Google who installs undeletable apps. It is
again, the phone manufacturer, because other makers do not install them.

Some providers, like one.com force you to give your MOBILE phone number.
The land-line phone number does not suffice. You can not get web-space
there without having a mobile phone. And they want its number.

You will get some things, like passwords only that way. Googlemail (or
some other idiot), so the last thing I remember, wants it that way.

I consider their "business model" as racism. Why force people into using
cell phones? They only want to track people. That is Nazi dreck of the
worst kind.

I can certainly see why this could help to implement fascism, but why
would that be racism?  Of course the nazis were racist** to the extreme,
but there have been other fascists who weren't, I think.  Even the
Mussolini and the Itallians were only so much as they had to cooperate
with the Germans, aiui, and presumably woudln't have been if they hadn't
allied themselves with them for other reasons.   Even if I'm wrong about
Italy, I don't see how their business model can be racism when race is
not the basis and it's applied to everyone and before they've done
anything racist.  Have they? 

**I'm using racism in the broadest manner, as in     9. any group,
class, or kind, especially of persons: Journalists are an interesting
race.               Other dictionaries use other examples, like
shoe-makers.  

Although Random House includes also
    4.  a group of tribes or peoples forming an ethnic lineage:
the Slavic race.
    5.  any people united by common history, language, cultural traits,
etc.:  the Dutch race.

I'm told that just about all USA and maybe British dictionaries are
descriptive, reporting how words are used, not proscriptive, saying how
they should be used.   (Although some words like ain't are marked
nonstandard.  Maybe that's because the entire word is criticized, not
just one usage.)

Because they force a 2-class society, of the haves and the have-nots.

The important detail to realize: They did NOT accept a land-line phone
as sufficient. One could enter a land-line phone number in the forms,
but one only is accepted if one enters a MOBILE phone number.

A land-line phone OR a mobile phone number, THAT would make sense. But
to force people into using cell-phone is racism.

Sounds like classism to me.  Well, at least that would be the almost
commonly used word.  A more accurate** word would be moneyism.

Well,  the broad meaning of race that you snipped, such as the race of
journalists or cobblers is probably broad enough to include the race of
people with little money and the race of people with money enough for
two phones. but I've never seen it before and it's another stretch
beyond  cobblers which is quite a stretch in itself. 

More important, it's just darn confusing because eveyyone I know thinks
racism refers to making unwarranted distinctions based on skin color and
facial features.  Since you had specified enough details about having to
give two phone numbers, it was clear you didn't mean that, but if you
use your same definition when you haven't specified details, no one will
know what you mean, and everyone will think you mean what's in my first
sentence of this paragraph. 

**Classism is the word that many use when they are talking about how
much money or income people have.  They say middle class when they
really mean middle income, and I guess that implies they think people
with low incomes are low class.  I don't think either is correct. 

For me, middle class means acting as part of society, fulfilling ones
responsibilities and even going further.   Mowing one's lawn, not
throwing littler on the street, calling the police when you see an
accident or crime, etc.  Low class is failure to do those things.  And
upper class I'm not sure of, maybe living up to the requirements of
noblesse oblige, The only ones I can  think of are giving large amounts
of money and time to good works.

I know a  lot of low income people who are middle class.   And of course
Trump is high income but low class.

The [USELESS because they cover such a small area] downloaded maps don't 
threaten, they just disappear after 30 days.  Or maybe they do threaten, 
I've never kept one long enough to find out.

where 'small area' is about a 1 hour drive radius. in other words, huge.

plus, new map tiles are downloaded as needed so it doesn't actually
matter.

Sounds like a good trip!  It was taking my GPS on a Coastal Voyage trip
