My Near Death Experience

I fell for you mate, I fell for you.

I'm sure he's thrilled to hear it...

Nah, seriously, we went about 60 hours with no power (and thus no heat, no lights, etc.)... and no computer, of course. Sad thing was that if I'd had a UPS, I could've borrowed a laptop and hooked it into the modem, as we still had a phone line...

Once it gets down to about 40 degrees inside your house, you don't tend to miss the Internet, though!

40? sounds about right. it's damn near that in my room right now... cold as a mother, but oh god is this the prime time to play Far Cry... no fear of overheating.

I'm all set for winter lol. My water cooling acts as a heater rofl.

We had a power-outage one time so D-F waled across our town (probably between 5 and 7 ks) and woke me up at nearly lunch time!

I used to have major problems with my internet. We had a dodgy modem so our net tended to cut out every hour or so, sometimes itd go every fifteen minutes, but it wouldnt stay out, itd re-connect itself almost right away, so that made it really frustrating, when your in the middle of someting (which was mainly BF2 back then) and your interent cuts out, chucks you out of the game, but almost immediately after, your able to get straight back into the game!

They were very frustrating days. Oh well, nets fine now

Btw, that must have SUCKED TB4O, poor you...

Yeah, I ended up having to pay for the initial broadband costs, when dad saw how good it was he picked up the bill. I was left $150AUD out of pocket but very happy.
