I think getting away from it all is quite liberating, and definitely good for you. Went camping for aw eek over the summer, and although I took my camera and a charger, and we all had mobile phones, but that was it. No email, no facebook, no nothing. We survived ok without it, and it was kinda nice. Maybe I'm just odd though :-) Jon -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Jim Lawrence Sent: 06 October 2009 20:53 To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] FW: Electric Dreams It could have been worse... your not out of civilisation until you can not plug in your laptop. Jim PS I am using Clonezilla to create a ISO backup... It took me 5 reboots to figure out that when selecting drives, it required a tab to the OK before pressing <Enter>... But basically the rest is brain dead so I had no trouble using it. -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Max Wanadoo Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 11:58 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: Re: [dba-Tech] FW: Electric Dreams I once went 13 hours without email. When we landed I went straight to the internet café..

After a couple of days you don't notice it...those couple of days were hell though. ;-) Jim -----Original Message----- From: dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-tech-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Max Wanadoo Sent: Tuesday, October 06, 2009 10:19 AM To: 'Discussion of Hardware and Software issues' Subject: [dba-Tech] FW: Electric Dreams There would be a few people on this list that would be v.e.r.y. upset no doubt!
