If you were made to give up your computer for; 1. A day - How would you feel and what would you do that day? 2. A week - How would you handle it and what all would you do that week? I personally would have loads of things to do if my computer was taken away. I personally wouln't feel that sad or down. I wouldn't be too happy but I could live without my computer for some time.

I use my computer every day because I make my living using the Internet to investing, no not from sites like this which do not produce enough income to even be called income, but from real investing in stocks and bonds, etc. Even on weekends I do research for my investments. So I just can't get along without my computer.

Yeah. Then you can't get along with your computer or even without the internet. For you people, you need the computer. How would you handle it though if your computer was broken or the internet gone or you don't have access to your computer for some time?

I have a laptop as backup for my computer and for travel. My Internet connection is cable and has been fairly reliable with the longest outage being only a few hours and most of that was when the market was not open so, while it was inconvenient, it did not keep me from making trades.

Yeah thats good then. Over here though... either the net goes or the electricity goes but my computer does run for some tiume without the electiricity. I can understand what it feels like if your net goes and you really need it for something. Happened to me when I was doing a prject for school at the last moment.

Yeah. True. Some people just can't do without a computer. Have you heard of the one day without computer thing? I forgot exactly when it is but it is sometime in February, I think. It is where you pledge that you will stay away from the computer for one whole day and then you can message each other on what to do that day. Pretty cool idea. Try it. Hmm... Born only for being with the pc.... hmmm....

Yeah. It is always good to get out and do some other stuff. I was also away from my computer for 1 month when I was out on a holiday. Was fun doing other stuff than being on the computer!
