Can you do it? Step back in time and not access a computer for a day? I find it hard enough to speed 30 minutes away from a computer let alone a whole day. *sigh*

I do that pretty much every weekend, but I have a fairly utilitarian view of my computer.

One of the Thirty-two (or maybe Thirty-four....)!

I don't touch a computer from Friday at 3:30pm to Monday at 7:00am. Every weekend.

Count me in on the last two posts as well. My kiddos and life in general keep me off the 'puter all weekend.

What the hell? I'll go for it. I'll turn all my computers off now and see if I can leave them off for all day tomorrow. Should be fun, right?

You believe me, don't you?
Please believe what I just said...

http://www.wheels.org/spacewar/stone/rolling_stone.html A nice peek into the beginnings of the "modern" computer age ... especially if you had no idea that we have the internet and video game consoles thanks to damn dirty hippies.
