lol, I just got back from a ski trip without using a computer. I watched movies on my friend's laptop on the way up, then didn't use the laptop for 4 days, then used it this morning/afternoon during the trip back. And my computer at home was shut down the whole time, and i actually shut down my comp every night

I probably could shut down that day no problem, but I'm not sure if I will, I highly doubt it.
Although it is a Saturday, I might go out all day anyways. Whatever.

i got it! a world shutdown day would be an excellent opportunity for a few brave souls to unclip their HSFs, unsocket their processors, and lap them over some high-grit automotive sandpaper! seeing as it takes all day to get a nice flat, smooth finish, why not?
