    Good Question

    I would definately read a more (if thats possible) and get back into and finish all my painting which has been lying around for about 6 months. Might go get me a girlfriend as well.

    No computer or television, **** man. I would probably drive aimlessly around town looking for something to do. Like go to more concerts and I would probably go from smoking a couple of cigarettes a day to smoking 3 packs day.

    a life without computers......I shudder to think. I would drink less smoke less, cuss less, scream less, go to church, write a book, sleep, eat, get to know my friends again (heh). Try to remember if I still have a girlfriend. Peace. digi

    (ps).......creative topic. Indeed.

    I have had that exact experience each time that I have moved house in the past... maybe a month while the computer and other furniture items arrive via trans-continental seaways...

    But the last time I was in that situation... the library saved me again. Actually, this library had computers, so it wasn't quite the abstinence it was supposed to have been, but since it was open only during certain hours, I fell back on the books again. Books. Hmm. I love books. I devour books. Some people say (paraphrased) that I have [b]|\/|4|) |=|/\x0r R34d1ng $|<iLLz . I speed read, to a degree. Never took a class in it or anything, but when I'm in my reading zone... zoom. I actually have problems with not being able to find good books to read. When I was in middle-school (junior high), I went through the whole Dragonlance series within a few weeks, and actually got a little most-pages-read award during some sort of "reading week" doodad. Unfortunately my prize was a book that I had already bought. Go figure.

    But yes, I would say books are the next best thing to la vida electrica.

    Terr....

    If you want to read some really good books, try anything by Raymond E. Feist. Start with "Magician: Apprentice" if you can. It's the first book in a series called "The Riftwar Saga" Sometimes it is combined with the second book called "Magician: Master" If it is it will just be called "Magician" I have read every book I could get my hands on by this author. His work is excellent.

    Happy Hacking
