Two weeks, no Net?

'I didn't realize how tough it would be'
By Janet Kornblum, USA TODAY
Jim Callahan swears he's a good cook, but unfortunately he had never been called upon to boil an egg. So when he went to make an egg salad, he needed help.
Normally, he would have gone to the Internet for the answer.

Funny. I went about that long while on vacation and then came back to Ivan having knocked out the cable internet at home for another 36 hours

In the time I've been a member of TechTV I was hospitalized four times for periods of ten days or more. I had withdrawal symptoms because I couldn't get online to the boards. B)

Somedays after being on at G4, I think I could go a few days without wanting to be online.

I can't even go two days before it starts to drive me up the wall.

This is exactly why I'm having an airport installed directly into my brain.

I was out for about 2 1/2 weeks during a move. I was busting my butt every day, wife was a slave driver in a former life.

Any way after things started to settle, then I started to get antsy for the internet.

Had wireless sys installed.

Comming from DSL dial up would have killed me.

Maybe a few days, at the most. It becomes part of your daily routine.

That sounds just like me. I'm addicted to the Internet, I check my mail zillions of times a day. Perhaps we could start a new service.

the last time I went camping I couldn't get a signal for my laptop and my antena wasn't powerful enough to get a signal strong enough. So I was actually trying to figure out how to attach a bunch of fireflies to a string and use them to boost my signal range. :D
(covers face with hand and shakes head side to side)
still wasn't enough power BTW.
