Our cable modem went down for 3 days; we got so bored we started playing Axis & Allies the board game and D&D board game. Funny how dependent we are about internet. The cable modem provider should have compensated us :)

Dang, that sux. I feel your pain, as our Mindspring dsl is sometimes down for 1 day at a time. Even 1 day drives me crazy!!:confused:

the scary thing is my monthly usage is about 675-700 hours... and NO I'm not on the whole time!!! I just never disconnect or turn off my computer...ever :) Guess that's a waste of power but I'm too lazy to wait 20 secs for Win98 to boot up :D ;)

That 20 days I had without Internet &amp; PC was when my Thunderbird went faulty.Bad timing I guess.

I've gone 3 days w/o the computer after really getting into it (one year) it was bad! I actually discovered there was an outside world!
Don't quote me on this, however, not too sure if it exists :)
