    When I had my GTX280 I had to RMA it maybe 4 times.

    It took between 2 and 4 weeks to get it back each time. Absolutely no computer use during that time.

    I had to go to the local library to use the internet. God it sucked balls.

    But I think it's always good to have these forced breaks. Because I know if given the choice I wouldn't take a break on my own. It's a good reminder of what else there is to do.

    hahaha this reminded me of a joke..

    a pregnant woman went to the doctor, he told her to go out more often, take nice long walks or visit places in order to be relaxed and in good health when delivery time comes.

    well this woman kept going to the zoo for a month.

    delivery time came, 30 minutes later her husband asked the doctor.....

    "hey doc! so was it a boy or a girl?"

    the doc - "well..not exactly, cause the damn thing as soon as we delivered it escaped from window".

    I suspect many people do become disillusioned by our computer orientated world and go the way of the "Noble Savage".

    No need to go that extreme !

    Some good book sounds ok. Three weeks wihtout PC was no problem when I was at the army, did read some books :).

    If it's too much, buy some mini laptop ?

    I always have a spare PC running. Even if both PCs broke down I got enough parts, drives, PSUs, GPUs, RAM to get back up again. Only thing that would prevent a running PC for me would be if someone threw a few sticks of TNT in my house.

    Booo!!! :ban:

    Outside.. jeez, the audacity! The blasphemy.

    Then again.. there is cool stuff outside.. like.. air. Air is good right?
    And... and.. bears... those are good right? Not as good as air though.

    Edit:
    Checked medical book, turns out, air is indeed good.

    This for sure. If all my desktops go down and the spare parts all quit then I would resort to pulling my old Dell laptop (circa 2005) out of retirement. It has a dedicated GPU and can still play WoW at least.
