    I'm away from computer when :
    - I sleep
    - I go out for smoking
    - I take a bath and other closet activities
    - Someone's knocking my door
    - I die.

    So, I think the longest time I've been away from computer is 4 - 6 hours (when I sleep).

    1 month! When i was younger (about 10), i smashed my mums car window (by accident) and she stopped me from using the computer, phoned the local libraries to make sure i couldn't go there and contacted my headteacher too.

    well I only used computers for brief amounts of time circa 1993-2000. during school.
    Since graduating high school I didn't get a pc until 2003. it was a bitza from my grandfather who had modified over time.(he knows electronics) So it was an old machine. i think memory 64MB and storage was 6gig,complete with CRT monitor.
    I pretty much woke up at 8am,went to bed around midnight!! ..and to think ihad dialup then too..what a pain.
    killed it in early '04. so i went without a pc for 6months! couldn't afford a new one.
    Eventually got a new one. 1 year later system crashed..so i went from win 98 to win2000 i think. when i moved to adelaide in 2005..it died and was reborn into a winME. so that was 2weeks without a pc working.
    In june 05 i paid off a layby on this current laptop(acer aspire 3000). By then,the desktop wasn't doing a good job. I still have it shed. Can't remember if it actually works or not LOL

    so yea the most is 6months. Lately over the last 3 yrs since getting my laptop ..i've gone without it about a month. thats when i went on holiday and went into hospital. But i did take it with me LOL(not into hospital)

    I don't know what will I be missing online, if I will be away from my pc for a couple of days but so far not more than 2o hours :D

    But may be this weekend, because I will be taking a vacation. It's a 6 days far from the city and I am not sure if I could find a internet cafe there I just hope I will, but maybe just to check some emails and also to check my websites traffic stats :D.
