Yeah, you got to have something to do otherwise there's just no point. I used to spend hours just reading about certain stuff online. Since my last post above mind you i havent actually been on much, but the time that was taken up with being online reading what i used to read is still taken up with it but in printed form as i bought some books on the stuff. I guess i'm saying that the internet kind of replaces other written types of material for me - plus there's also the odd forum you can visit or someone you know on msn.
I feel as though ive only just plugged myself into computers, and i'm not unplugging yet!

I never really realised until i read this thing the other day how new an invention the internet actually is (with the current hyper text and protocols i mean). Sure, i realsied it was new but the other day i was reading a book (A brief history of the future - John Naughton) and had nearly finished it before the dates hit me! It was like 93 or something when irc started i think, but 97 (!!) or so when 'normal' public started going on here - and even then it was like 2000 - 2001 before business and people realised the importance of getting a E address! It nearly blew me away... i was like i lived through it all in my teens, and yet i MISSED IT!
"A marvellous invention" - by no-one in particular
