I don't think so and I have a laptop that will take care of my computer cravings while I'm traveling. :cool:

I can lose my refrigerator, my bed, my TV, my oven, my phone ....

but never my PC ! I think you should consult with a doctor before deciding to do so.

Seriously, I don't even need a computer. All I do is Anandtech and some porn. But it would be hard, but I think I can manage.

Heck NO ... though, come to think about it, we had to buy a TI92+ calc for school. Maybe that'd be enough. ;)

Please stop typing and look up the number for your family doctor. Call and make an appointment ASAP. Good Luck. I think I would go crazy without my compuuter at home. I relieve my stress from the long days at work by going home and playing a little CS or UT or Q3.

No.

I can go without her for a couple of days, as long as I know I could go on if I had too.

Sure, as long as I'm dead for atleast 2 years, and with the ensurance I get it back after that month.

Damn boy, you have some weird thoughts in your mind.

I went on vacation for a week, spent 24 hours straight on my computer when I got back. What do you think.

You might go into shock just like a person using heroine. Please consult doctor before doing so. And kids please do not try this at home. Could be hazardous to your health. For me I don't think I can go 2 days without computer.

If you think about it, it could be the best thing to ever happen to you.

Ever since I got my drivers licence, my car and a job, I dont have time to use my computer. Its only use right now is holding my MS excel list of phone numbers, and using ICQ to talk to some friends to go do something. (and the odd post here)

Life away from my computer has been great. I dont worry about getting the fastest p3 or Athlon, or getting ddr ram to get 5 extra fps in quake 3.

I havent played a single game in over a month.

computers are the devil.

I can stay up and not eat for like 10 days, but no PC would kill me... You know what would kill me faster? Living without my PC and have a MAC, then i would just end it right there...

Yes, but I'd have to be doing some pretty great stuff during that month... like backpacking through europe or going on a vacation in the south pacific. I went on a 15 day cruise once, and I didn't miss the computer much at all.
