2. Sure, but for how long I don't know!
A couple of months I could tolerate, after that, I don't know how I would be doing....

3. Instead of responding to this poll, I will send you my answer by postcard
a postcard carried by the Pony Express.

6. I'll find out in May
When I start studying for the bar exam, I plan to be off the Internet for two months to avoid distractions. I may type notes, but I can't afford to be on the Internet!

7. Of course I could.
I choose to spend some of my leisure time on the internet because I enjoy it, but of course I could live without it, and I have.

8. I would have a really hard time doing so
I've grown attached to this machine, I must admit.

9. Can' t live without income
And I make my living on the computer and the internets. Self- employed type stuff to supplement my meager social security. Too old to look for other work and too deaf to be a WalMart greeter.

:kick:

12. No.
I am a Computer Sciences student. Without computers, I'd quickly run out of well-paid jobs, never mind that my major would be rather pointless...

13. Yes, but it wouldn't be easy
I'd probably not get so angry about stuff though.

15. Yes, but I would miss it even though I would have a lot more time...
to do important things that I used to do with my spare time before I got one.

16. I can't remember how I did things like pay bills before the age of
computers. It all seems so quaint and difficult.

17. Everyone who answered "yes" is a lying bastid
