What to do if the internet goes down (http://www.thetoque.net/031118/internetdown.htm)

:D That is quite amusing. Strange how much funnier things become as they get closer to the truth.

As a matter of interest, how much time do each of you spend per week on the web?

On a 56K dial-up? Longer than I should...

I must spend about 15/20 hours online a week. There's so much to read and keep up with just from a technical/standards perspective. This last couple of weeks getting examples together for the presentation has added more than a few hours to that total. New developments, new ideas. Add to that the usual trawls for music and film news, and it all adds up.

Difficult to say how long I'm on.

I have broadband and my PC is always on and connected to the net whenever I am at home.

In terms of active use of the internet, I would say about the same time as Francis. However, I can get at least ten times more info then him in that time thanks to broadband!

Francis, as a heavy user you really ought to go broadband, I can't believe you still put up with 56k!
