I didn't own a computer from 1997 to 2000. Then in 2000, I saw this game "Starfleet Command" and wanted to play it...only problem was I had to get a computer to do that...and then when I beat the campaign, I had to play online so I had to get a cable modem (I'm not an idiot...dialup is for suckers). That was all she wrote from there...

I know that I can as I do so at times.

Last May for example I was staying at my parents new house for several days while they were moving in and didn't have a computer there until the last day when I brought the laptop. The laptop was only brought because my parents internet connection was being set up and their computer was still at the other house.

Also at times I get up and leave the house without touching the computers and by the time I get back it is time to just collapse into bed as on those instances my day is both full and long.

There are those on the forums I'm sure who hunt, fish and camp and I would doubt that they take computers with them.

Wha...what. Not take my laptop to the wilderness...why else do I have a laptop with four backup batteries?

I'd bring my laptop up north to watch movies etc on evenings after spending all day in a rowboat fishing.

Daniel Boone and Davey Crocket would be ashamed of you guys. Not to mention your scout masters

Scout masters? Did I go and join the army!!!

Boone and Crocket? Aren't they the characters on some American TV show from decades ago?

I spent the entire time I was a Ft. Benning for basic training without ever touching a computer. Technically, I'm not even supposed to have this laptop because of the rules they have for soldiers in training.

Let it be known that if I ever jump out of a plane it is because the consequences of not jumping out of the plane are worse than those of jumping.

I never did see the "thrill" in such things.

My father does seem to be improving so things are getting better. Now I just need some good weather because I'm getting cabin fever. I like going for long walks and that has not been practical in the wind chills and freezing rain of the last few weeks. I may have to shoot the liar of a local groundhog.

"Chairborne!" ? Now you need to define it.

I dislike not having physical control of my situation so such things as skyjumping have no thrill for me.

You know, it's like "Airborne", except instead of jumping out of airplanes, you sit in a chair. Other than that it's exactly the same (except you don't get to wear the red beret).
