My computer quit on me awhile back.I thought I could live without it, and so far I have with no problems. I needed a new phone so I broke down and got me one of these smart phones. So of course the first thing I had to do was check and see how my dudeist brothers and sisters have been. I am still abidin' and tryin' to keep life simple and my mind limber. Some days are harder than others, seems to be a lot more human paraquats out there. Anyway it's good to be able to get back with like minded people. Take er easy dudes.
Right on, man. Welcome back around. How long were you without a computer/internet? I've thought of taking a techno-vacation, myself, over the years. Everything seems so gosh darn convoluted, complex, and interrelated today. It's just too much, too quickly, too easy, too frequently. Nothing in our evolutionary development prepared us for all this. Taking a step back and reveling in sweet obsolescence sounds kinda appealing.

Thanks man. I was without internet for about a year and really didn't miss it. I didn't realize how much time I wasted surfin' the net. My special lady has since bought a new computer but I haven't been on it. I just check out this forum on my phone and I wouldn't have it if she hadn't got it for me. She got tired of not being able to call me when she needed me.

Welcome back dude! Good to see you again.
Damn....no computer? I'm not sure bow long I would last without a computer connected to the world wide web.
It's a scary thought....that is why I keep a backup notebook computer just so if anything happens to this notebook I can just swap the ethernet connection and be back online in a few minutes.
This notebook is beginning to show it's age now. I'm think I may look at the new Cloud Computers like the Surface?
Anyone have a Surface?
