GTX Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 The ONLY way I could do it for a month is.................. wait, no, I couldn't. If I did that, people would think that I probably died or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudy Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 the only way i would do it is if someone pays me LOTS of money (in the 4-5 digits...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTX Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Over $10,000? Geez... my question would be: What ever caused that person to give you more than $10,000 to stop using a computer for a month? Unless... you were some sort of elite hacker or something and they wanted you off their systems... or... something... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NetGX Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I'd go for a month for a 100 bucks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uniacid Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 I've done a month without a pc, also about 3 weeks with a pc and no internet, thats worser :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTX Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 The longest I've ever went without a computer was 4 years... until we got one when I was 4 years old... Anyway... The longest after that was 1 week. No more. No less. Never again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackice912 Veteran Posted January 19, 2004 Veteran Share Posted January 19, 2004 Could never do it. I'd have to get someone to print out Neowin on a semi-hour basis for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackwanders Posted January 19, 2004 Share Posted January 19, 2004 Now when you say "no PC", how separated do you plan to stay from them? Cuz in my opinion, asking someone to use a computer to get info for you (check email, send an IM, print a page of document) is the same as using it yourself. I think, to go "no PC", you'd have to completely separate yourself from computers...not relying on them at all...not simply 'not using' them yourself. Personally, there's no possible way I could do it. My college courses require that I use one...and considering I'm a Computer Science major with two computer-centric group projects this semester...I could never pull it off. My degree wouldn't allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paganinio Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 NO PC challenge? i don't think it is a challenge, because many people don't use PC at all but it is indeed a good kind of experience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturas Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 NO PC challenge?i don't think it is a challenge, because many people don't use PC at all but it is indeed a good kind of experience so true :D /me points finger to people that upgrade to latest gfx cards, fastest cpus just to run benchmarks and such as a prime example :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted January 21, 2004 MVC Share Posted January 21, 2004 It'd be impossible.My pc is is just over my bed, so as soon as I wake up first thing is see how manu restards messaged me on ICQ even tho im set as N/A, and neowin :). Its in my sub-concience.. This show why computers could just take over our live, say microsoft takes over in 5 years and pcs are locked unless we pay them...Wed be screwed , we depend upon PC's to live, its everywhere. Pc is the biggest, unde-estimated power on earth..Whoever pwns the pcs, pwns our lives - namely, Microsoft.. In 5 yerars, you wake up: that must still be in alpha becuase system is spelt wrong :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathamon Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I couldnt do it , I use PCs to do all my academic work (comp sci degree) , provides my main source of watching movies and I always end up fixing other peoples PCs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+John Teacake MVC Posted January 21, 2004 MVC Share Posted January 21, 2004 I am going to try but i dont think i can do it. I wont last hours never mind days. I cant go for a month because my university work requires it. But im off for 2 weeks so i might try a week. Ive often thought about doing it, it would make me a better person because i feel as though i spend too much time on here. Im to much addicted to things like MSN and Neowin. I am on MSN all the time people would think theres something wrong with me if i dont sign in for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DELTA75329 Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 I could do it, but I wouldn't *want* to. I've tried Mac before, I like it.

Death By Sexy Posted January 21, 2004 Share Posted January 21, 2004 i think if i went without my PC for a month i would fail all my classes at school (graphic design). however, we use MACs at school.. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
