I would revert to typing commands in Dos and dialing up bulletin boards with my 12K modem but at least I would have a color monitor ;)

Remember when 56K was super fast for a modem and a 20MB hard drive was considered huge (and very, very expensive)?

Yes, and yes.  Heck, the 56K modem was something of a unicorn.  The modem might have worked that fast, but none of the providers did.

I would probably wither away and die sooner, on the other hand maybe I would exercise and live longer!

It would be hard to live without it, I use it for everything.

I have a ton of recipes I have saved, enough for two lifetimes.

I predict my own weather, better than the forecasters.

I keep in touch with relatives, some I found on the net through genealogy research.

The only negative is there are always two sides, especially if something, food, is good for you or not. I give up on that, if it looks, and sounds good, I cook it and eat it!

I found a lot of good people here to talk BBQ and cooking!!!
