    I'd probably go to bed earlier, get up earlier, get a little more exercise in during the day, spend a few extra hours with my family. Honestly, the internet isn't my sole source of income and I spend too much time on it without accomplishing anything useful. I suppose if I supported my internet habit by making more money online then I'd care.

    This reminds me of the South Park episode where the internet goes down, that was pretty hilarious! - I don't know what I would do as all of my businesses operate online :eek:

    Once internet is down, I'll go for ham radio to keep long-distance talks, relying on local networks infrastructure too (20k users for a good LAN, 200k users for a traffic exchange), and if they would turn it all down, then I'll probably take an attempt to port RFC 1459 to a distributed network of smoke signals.

    Hmm, I'd have to actually get out of my pj's and slippers, comb my hair, and go outside in the daylight. Frightening.
