I never thought about this stuff before, wow, I bought my first pc 2.5 yrs ago, I'm not sure howI would be without it. One of my newest best friends is from a whole other country, I would miss my friend, everything else I could lose if I had to.....ie, no electricity...But I don't see it, we Kiwis downunder are quite ingeneous, through necessity. Hmmm, I do like free internet, I like being the 'director' here in my own little 'drama' heheh, glad the americans with their 'freedom of self' attitude invented the 'net', probably for that reason I've never feared the idea it could disappear....food for thought.

Destinations...
Are where we begin again.
Ships go sailing,
Far across the sea.
Trusting starlight,
To get where they need to be. believe
