I would be willing to do it, but only if we could have an official day where you could only be on the computer for 24 hours straight. That would be a cool challenge haha. 24 Hours straight without a pause (except bathroom and some food I guess) sounds pretty hardcore lol.

Can we inject people we dont like on that day?

Books, people! Haven't any of you read Harry Potter? I didn't turn my computer on for over a week, while reading the first 6 of them.

But I haven't stumbled across any new books that I really enjoy, so back to system tweaking, RPGs, and Warcraft III!

I'll save more energy by not using the oven at all on that day - I'll eat raw vegetables and fruit, which should save enough that I can turn my computer on.

I don't read normal books anymore, I read them on my laptop lol.

Whenever I go to a friends house and stay the night I won't be on a pc for 24 hours usually tho. Just sitting at home might suck without a pc however.

I went 72 hours without computer (excluding a couple of hours in lesson at school) when I transfered my case over to this Tuniq 2.

It was kinda hard, but I was enjoying what I was doing otherwise.
