Well, I have no problems with having no PC. I spend alot of time on the PC, but when summer comes, I cant wait to go to our summer cottage on weekends. It's in it's own island, so no power, expect what the small generator gives to power the lights when the nights get darker in Fall.

That seems so...two centuries ago...

It's a paradise compared to the city. When it's calm and no clouds in sight. You can literally hear the silence. Now, take the sunny day, calm waters, the silence and the beautifull finnish nature and add a nice smooth rock to sit on and a beer to your hand. Priceless, wouldnt give that away with any price.

So wouldn't I - sounds too good to give it up!

I think Dowly got the best escapism. I know the feeling I lived near bush nearly all my life then became a townie and i become this...:nope: :roll:

Technology is just modern times. When farming was just about the only thing to do in rural America nobody said that people were addicted to farming.

If there was no PC in my house, I'd be even more obsessed about playing my cardboard wargames and my pencil and paper role playing games.:88) Also.. My music reccording quality would stink. Editing on a multitrack tape deck is REALLY hard and you lose sound quality with each edit.

Since no one got my comment I think it's funny complaining about technology on an internet forum. :roll:

And if that is not battlespace enough, these cuties fighting on 8x8 squares (and representing half of my collection):

Hey Skybird,

Nice collection!

I've got Ambush and several of its "expansion packs" including a two player version.

AAUUUGGGHHH! I can't go back!

Ha! :up:

(the Quran black on white demands Muslims to systematically disciminate Chroistzioan and Jewish infidels, and tolerate them in that inferior status only if the submit and accept that - else they, like members of other religoons as well, must be killed.
AAUUUGGGHHH! I can't go back!

Aaaahhhh! I think it's wonderful! I even like the smell of the old boxes, counters, and papers! ;) A lot of memories. I think I have saved Europe as often as I devastated it :lol:

Hexfield strategy never was beaten by any of the RTS titles. Steel Panthers beats C&C anytime for me. RTS like Earth and C&C for me never was much different from hectic action games with too much mouse-clicking in too little time (that was the key to win the game, wasn't it). I am waiting for the release of Word in Flames. Judging by the screenshots and the indepth information of the community, this will become a hell of a title that does not give up on the hexfield- and many-counters-feeling.

Read a book, watch TV, listen to the radio, listen to music, play the PS3... got three-dozen others.

Those of us with a more, erm, mature outlook would simply be doing other things.

Probably if I weren't doing stuff on the computer, I'd fire up the Kenwood TS-520 more often, making some CW contacts.
