    Scrapping the PC is too drastic. "All" you have to do is not connect it to the Internet. ;)

    Then you may as well scrap your PC. No internet would be like having a new car in your driveway with no engine. All you can do is go sit in it and look out the windshield then go back in the house and watch reruns on TV:eek:

    Not quite. Every company’s typists using word processing all day don’t need Internet, nor do most accountants doing spreadsheet calculations, while innumerable shops keep records on customers with database software. You can even play commercially available DVDs, record your own music or view photos taken by your camera.
