yeh i dont see how anyone who works from an office could realistically turn thier computer off for a day... can be done on the weekend though, although im usually not in anyways and would probably forget to turn it off before i went out!

I won't. I've got work to do, and it depends on that machine so called Computer.

I've signed up, I really want to get away from my computer. I have been lately, I don't go on as much. Unfortunately I'm always so damn tired from school, I have to get at 7, and I have very boring days. Still, I'll give it a shot ;)

You guys do realise that if you do this... (not saying it will happen)... but what if the majority of our world did take part? Shops would be shut and you'd have to get cash from the Eftpos Machine the day before because nothing computer-generated can be alive!! Yes... eftpos machines compute!! You can't use a calculator! :)

Hmm.. I'm having second thoughts about this... lol

I can guarrentee that would never happen; we'd leave ourselfs vulnerable to terrorist attacks, criminals, vandlism... But really, if you're life revolves so much around computers that you can't even spend one day apart because you have a date with the computer, then that's pretty bad...
