Come to think of it, that was a dumb novice question. Without functioning cell towers, functioning cell phones would be fancy paperweights, anyhow.

Likewise, can’t do very much with a computer without internet, except for personal or family items.

Nyet, tovarich. No question is dumb. Cell phones have batteries that won't be affected.

Computers that are protected will work and I don't know about you, but an intranet can be as important as an internet.

I've got 3 blocks around here covered with network connection if required.

Sure, google and wiki won't be available, but a local network will be, and eventually will connect to other networks... hey... isn't that how arpanet started back when I didn't have to shave twice a day?

Yea, you did jump the gun on that, a bit. You can still make a case that keeping your personal electronics working is better than the alternative. But life would still bite.

Anyway, I forgive you, having to spend years dealing with Governor Perry’s attempt to wreck our freeway systems does take its toll (so to speak) on all of us.
