Well, I've been in Costa Rica for 2 weeks, that means you hardly hear the radio in your car in the middle of the jungle, so yeah, 24 hours is amateur, and really easy.

I can, just don't feel like it... I'll probably hop on because I feel like it. I enjoy using my PC, I've put tons of my hard-earned cash into it, and I like talking to people on it.

Would be kind of hard for me to do that, since I use a computer at work.
But I can go 24 hours withou using my computer, the only reason I have it on 24/7 is because I am folding. But see now point in turning it off.
