Hmm. What could you do if the net died for a few days?
Read a book? Make love? Go out and see the world? Talk to real people? Watch one of the thousands of "linux distros" you've downloaded over the past five years? Listen to music? Join a political party and change the world? Find a new job? Play with the kids? Write a story? Ride a bike?
The list is endless.

Three years of switching the power supply off hasn't done any damage to it yet...pfft...lights go out...oh shti! ;)

Thanks for all the responses, I cannot answer them due to not seeing him until Monday at work. I will let you know what happens, or which option works best.
