Well I definitely wouldn't be bored. I can think of a hundred other things I could do instead, I just don't want to do them.

Hahahaha. Gave yourself hives trying to decide between weed and Internet. Duchess is bad at Sophie's Choice.

Technology & weed are my only two vices...unless cussing drivers & other incompetent people count as a vice....Wine isn't a vice, right?

Wine is only a vice if you buy it by the box daily.

I like a nice dessert riesling. Life would not be as good without Eiswein.

I didn't actually get a computer until 2001 but I studied programming on IIT's mainframe in 1969. My first computer was a simple device I made out of tinkertoys when I was little but the first real computer was IIT's I saw in 1963. One of my high school classmates was a genius with computers and I learned a little from him but he made a lot of fantastic predictions which I didn't believe and have all come true. The guy virtually thought in programming and could program anything. I have to imagine he went far.

A buddy of mine got on the net back about 1991 or 2 and I played around on it a little bit but didn't think it was worth the cost in those days.

It wasn't six months before I couldn't live without the net back in '02.

I like everything about the internet. I like that I have access to stores that I otherwise wouldn't. I like buying stuff off ebay for pennies on the dollar, {I always think that stuff is "hot", as in, stolen merchandise}. I'm more inclined to send an email or IM than I am to pick up the phone. I like the anonymity of telling someone they are too stupid to live or their Mom should have choose to swallow.
