Wow I just survived 3 days with no internet connection! It was difficult but I somehow pulled through. But I did realize an abnormal dependence on the WWW. For instance:
No connection through email - My phone tells me I'm getting email, but no way of knowing what is going on. I just get the title such as "Hurry, go to this site now for a free car". So now I continue to drive the ol Malibu.
I wake up for service need a weather report - I head in to check the weather quickly on weather.com, but alas no internet. I ended loosing 3 toes to frost bite Saturday.
Need an address to get somewhere - I head to check whowhere.com, but once again no connection. I ended up lost, but did enjoy a nice visit to this place called Minot, ND.
In search of a coupon - Go to google for a coupon, you know no connect. I end up paying REGULAR price for something. The world gasp!
And the list goes on... But I have recovered. I am connected again. I think the problem is someone didnt pay their taxes... oh yeah me... gotta go do that now.

Posted by: Captian Jonathan!!! at March 16, 2004 10:25 AMI was in the middle of typing up a history paper last weekend, and my computer broke down. Then, I fixed it, retyped the history paper, and suddenly noticed that the printer stopped working. Then, the internet would not work. Also, because I have an iMac, I had NO FLOPPY DISK DRIVE!!!!! Reminds me of the Foxtrot comic during Halloween:
"What are you supposed to be?"
"I'm a iMac!"
"What's so scary about that?"
"Well, that's simple! NO FLOPPY DISK DRIVE! NO FLOPPY DISK DRIVE!"
"Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"
