24 Hours without Internet

NJK · 27th April 2005, 17:20

Have any of you lately been this long disconnected??

I have been without internet for over 24 Hours and Honestly I didn't miss it , gave me an opportunity to do some other things (like fixing several things in and around the house)

I learned one important lesson from it , Pay the bills in time

I've been disconnected for a few months before. A year a little before that.

And a couple of weeks when I moved.

And when the whole east coast blackout thing happened. Though I did have alot of fun during that whole episode

When I went on vacation it was around a week. Honestly wasn't that big of a deal.

Normally I could deal, although when I'm at college the internet is my primary connection to the world I actually care about, so I freak out when it gets disconnected.

I think my longest without the net was 16 years.

ScorLibran · 27th April 2005, 23:06

LOL!

The longest I've gone without the internet was 25 years.

The longest I've gone without the internet since the first time I was on it was several weeks I guess. Before it was becoming mainstream, there wasn't much there, so there wasn't much to miss anyway.

My life doesn't completely revolve around the internet... only mostly.

I could handle being disconnected for a few days. After that, I'd probably start going through withdrawals.

Just 2 weeks ago, my chipset fan burned out on my computer. I had to go about 1.5 weeks till I could replace it with a new one from the manufacturer. Yea, that was excruciating.
