What will you do i you PC/laptop breaks down for 3 or more days???

yeah, a nice activity while the PC is down. i also will meet my friends, go to some local cafe with them, I don't go to church that often, but actually I can go to a trip with my friends too, there are so many things to do, except sitting in front of the PC

Yeah, you are right. if you are addicted to the computers and your broke down, I think the weekend will not go so quickly By the way, haven't you tried doing something else like watching Tv or reading some newspaper, or just go out with some friends? Because if that happens to me, I will not worry about it at all, because I have a lot of books to read and I love to read

I can live without mine too... but I'd rather not have to

hi! you are one business lady is I see, when you have two PC and wait for a laptop then you must call the "doctor" quickly, because it can happen at any time, and you must be prepared. And YES, I am really not addicted to the computer. I can live without it too, but without my books I can't

Well for me, it is a bit of a different situation. Oh and before I continue - I have 2 older desktops and my Sony Vaio laptop - so I do have ample backup. The laptop doesn't get used a lot. I mainly use it for when I take a trip, maybe once or twice a year. For me, I guess I am addicted, but for a different reason. I am considered kegally blind, and the only place that I can enjoy reading is here on the net - - as well as having inter-action with others. It is my # 1 way to achieve contact with folks and make new friends. I love my message boards and just doing a lot of googling varied subjects (like recipes, etc.) My dear husband passed away last April 30th, and I am now at my computer far more than I was. Sometimes if I wake up in the middle of the night or real early in the a.m., and can't sleep, of course I get online, with my cup of coffee, and check emails, posting boards, or maybe read the news, or whatever I may be interested in at the moment. MyLot has been such a blessing to me, and has filled a LOT of lonely, empty hours of reading and posting for me. Ijust thank God for helping me find it - don't even remember how I did find it. One last thing - there are places on the net that have a "subscription" to fix/repair your computer, if you're not concerned about them having access to do it. I did one for awhile and it was very helpful with my concition, but they got way too expensive, and refused to cover both my desk top AND my laptop - - so I cancelled my subscription. But I did contact my computer repair guru here, and ask him to consider doing this for me, and letting me know what the cost would be, and Id' send him a check. We do have a trusting relationship, or I probably would do that. 'nuff said and I'm outta here. C. C.

well, if it is your primary source of contact and income, then I guess you must be mad about it, when such thing happens, but you will not get poorer, if you don't have a PC for the weekend just call some friend or relative and go for a walk with him/her/them, and you will see you feel better!

thanks for the nice and comprehensive answer ClassyCat! You really need to this, because it is your door to the world and not only to the real one, but also for many others imaginary worlds, just as for me my books are! I am sorry about your husband, it is really terrible what happens to you, because the lost of a beloved person is something very hard to handle with it and I can only hope, that you are OK now. Be HAPPY and keep make the people around you HAPPY too Have a shiny day

hmmmmmmm, you are really addicted to it, but at least you confess it and don't lie to us Don't you have any friends to meet with or something else to do? is the computer most done by you activity, when you are at home?

Actually i hated computers, as my other half plays world of warcraft each day. I normally read a book or two and one day he bought me this laptop. You should have seen me the first time on the net, it was hell, but then i found mylot and here i am. Enjoying it every single day. As for my friends, we only see each other on weekends, as they have a farm about 60km from us. But i have my other friends, right here. TATA.

hmmm, interesting. you are the first woman, that I hear playing WOW, I have played it years ago, but wasn't good enough and I quit it. A friend of mine plays it every day and he is really very good. Do you have a farm too? you were from SAR( South African Republic), right?

honestly even i can live without internet but it will so difficult because if i'm not online for a weekend, i cant get money from internet, and my blog PR will decrease. so, how about you? you can live without internet??

hi! yes, i can live without it, because I have many other things to do, like studying or my favorite activity- reading books. I try to earn some extra online money to pay a part of my study fees, but i am not so addicted to it, as many others

yeah, you can't update mylot from your mobile, but can't you live without internet just for one weekend? is it really so important to you? don't you like to do something else, than just sitting in front of you PC/laptop and surfing or doing something else?

yeah, that is what i am talking about There are so many other things to do, except the sitting in front of the PC/laptop. And yes, there are also people, who earn their primary amount using the computer, and it is really necessary to them What do you like to do, when your PC breaks down?

yeah, it is really not good spending so much of your time on the computer, becaues there are so many interesting things to do, beside the PC like meeting friends, playing with them- i like play football or doing something else, which is healthy like sport for example!

well, I believe you, because I am also just like you. I am also not addicted to computers and internet, they are just another way to spend my spare time, and I have more interesting things to do!

yeah, maybe you all will miss it, except me, because it is really not so important part of my daily round. I will do the same things like you if mine goes down and I think i will not be sad even for a minute about that, what happened to my computer, because I really know how to spend my time doing interesting and funny things

Yeah,if I can't fix it by my own, I will also wait till monday to call some of my friends and if nobody can fix it, then i will have to bring it to the repair service to see what has happened and to fix it. I have many other things to do during the weekend, while my laptop is down- meeting friends, studying, reading...

interesting how many of us are addicted to the computer and actually i am so glad that I am not one of these people. believe it or not, I am really not addicted to it, because I have many other also interesting things to do and I don't feel boring when my laptop is down or I have a slow internet connectivity

nice. well, you are a lucky to have a sister like yours or maybe your sis is a lucky to have friends like that If my laptop breaks down I think i will b able to fix it by my own, because I know about these things, and have done it many times before

Hi! Well, I think you are addicted to the PC's and the internet because when you go no vacation and you searched for internet cabins, that means you can't really live without it And do you always use internet when you go to some trip with your husband or family?

yeah mylot is a good reason to want your PC fixed faster as possible, but as I told if my goes down I have many other things to do, which by the way I am doing every day, because I don't think sitting on the PC with hours during the whole day is so right!

then you must change you cable TV supplier, if there is nothing interesting on the Tv, because there are always some interesting channels, which you can watch, even when you have something more important to do! You can also go out with some friends of yours or your family

yeah, linux is a very good solution of the software and virus problems for many PC users, because as I discussed with some member of mylot several days ago, there are really less viruses for linux and also this OS gives less error than the windows OS's. I have never used it on my computer, but some of my friends are using it
