2. weeks at a time

at the family cabin in the Boundary Waters. No phone, no road.

It's very peaceful, actually.

3. From birth to 2003

I had a pal unplug because he was spending too much time on it.

5. Dunno, I'm considering it.

Really need to be pinching pennies these days, and it'd be kind of an interesting experiment.

8. You can always go to a library.

6. A couple years, actually.

We were on it too much, so we got rid of it.

But then we began losing friends who only emailed, and then business contacts... so we got it back.

Fricking thing is like crack, though.

7. During our move from MN to ID.

I was offline a couple of weeks, I guess.

9. For almost 2 days a while ago

I started shaking and getting cold sweats. Now I'm on a low dosage - just enough to keep me functional without overdosing.

10. Couple weeks at most, since 1999.

When my computer would break down.

11. During hurricane Ivan...

...it was almost a month before I could get back on line.

12. For a week every year

for family vacation and weekends on the farm. I start missing email, then I miss the boards, then the whole family is ready for me to get my internet and Mr Gaia figures out how to connect with his cell phone for a few minutes.

13. Made a point of taking a vacation this summer

And only checking my business e-mail while we were out. That was three weeks total. To be honest, I didn't want to be on the computer at all, but being self-employed has its drawbacks.
