Wow. doing without a computer for ten days feels like a vacation from the world.  
When things went sour, I immediately wanted to tell all my friends that my email was down,hen realized I could not send email. I resigned myself to seeking other pursuits. I read a couple of books, fixed my stereo, sat on the lawn swing and loafed.  Amazing, but soon the ten days passed and I got hooked up again.  Then I had time to do notheing except catch up with 2000 spam messages, and seven emails.  One thing I could use my computer for is solitare and I lose several games.  Try and do it sometime and discover life without cyberspace.
