Quote - Years ago, I would have agreed with you on the point of a computer failing and not being able to get back on but most people have some sort of access to the net either through library, cafe or friends/relatives these days.

I don't. I'm off work ill and it's had for me to get out, and between doctor appointments, tests and getting out to buy food, I'm too exhausted to go anywhere else, let alone a library to use a computer.

If my desktop dies on me (and I think it will be doing that really soon), I'm off line until I can get another computer and due to extremely tight  finances, that wouldn't be for several months.

As for friends and family with computers?  Amazingly enough none of my friends have computers, and the only family members I have that do live 3 hours away.

So while you may think that in this day and age it's impossible to not have computer access, there are some who don't.

"It is good to see ourselves as others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
