uniacidz Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Any money involved? I couldnt do that, have too much of my life on it, and use it for a stereo/media centre/dvd-divx playback and also for my MP3 player. Not and option for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I have to admit it, i can't do it. I use the internet, like my dad uses TV... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snippet1 Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I couldn't do it - I just use it for too many things. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
machima Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I couldn't stand no computer games for a year, let alone no computer for a month. This is my entertainment system, I couldn't stand to be restricted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostspyder Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 ehh screw that. I do 4 things in my life: drink, work, study and play on the internet. Working and studying suck, so that leaves me being an alchaholic :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Dorr Veteran Posted January 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2004 I could do it. I'd just use my Mac :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Iain Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I couldnt do it, because I use a PC at college! But if I didnt have to, I'd still say I couldnt make it more than a couple of days. I store all my music on my PC for one thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetGX Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Sad to say but i couldn't do it, I get withdrawals. No tech news.... oh the pain. I would be back within a day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackice912 Veteran Posted January 6, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 6, 2004 There is no way I could do it. Heck, I even checked Neowin while on vacation in LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chode Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 Not a possibility. Some people require their PC for a) Study b) Work I know that if I don't fire up 3D Studio Max for at least 3 hours a week then I may as well just shoot myself in the head. Maybe a better challenge would not be to play games for 3 months....I did that last Summer, not by choice but forced to by my hardware... my motherboard locks up when the processor hits 60 degrees, which it could do just from playing SOLITAIRE (geez I swore when it did that!!!!) Hence I spent last summer without games...which sucked coz I'd just gotten UT2003. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nazgul Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 It can't be done! :wacko: No, seriously though, best of luck to ya man... I've had to go 5 days without my pc before, when I was home from school on break... not easy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolvereen Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 My friend gave up his PC for Lent. For him, that was a HUGE thing, as he LIVES on his PC. Not sure I could make it 40 days and nights, but he did! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chavo Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 I've tried this in the past, only it was for two weeks. I made it through ok. I don't think I could do it now. I use my PC for too much stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
