orangeman Posted December 29, 2018 Report Posted December 29, 2018 Several weeks ago I noticed a post whereby someone mentioned a trumpet he sold. It was in a post where a new scroll saw was purchased. I responded and asked how he sold the trumpet as I had one to sell as well. NOW, I am getting pop-up ads on my computer for trumpets!!!!! How do they do that? From a simple post several weeks ago here I mention trumpet and now I get ads! bb Quote

RabidAlien Posted December 29, 2018 Report Posted December 29, 2018 Because 20 years ago, some kids were forced to read George Orwell's "1984" in high school....and walked away from it thinking it was an instruction manual, not a warning. Quote

All I did was mention "trumpet" on a post here. And I also went to Ebay to see what my trumpet was selling for. bb Edited December 29, 2018 by orangeman Phantom Scroller 1 Quote
