Thankfully I have never had to worry about my computer breaking down, BUT there was a time at school where I dropped it off somewhere to get special software installed. They said it would take about 3 hours, and my classes were done, so there was nowhere for me to go. I couldn't do homework, because that would involve the computer. I had no idea what to do with myself for the 3 hours, until finally I decided to watch CNN for an hour, then play games on the PS2 for a bit, and then watch stuff on ESPN.

Ultimately, I came to realize that I am joined at the hip to my computer. I fear for my sanity.
