I appreciate your concern. My computer broke down. It was awful. It is absolutely true that if all you have is a tv and newspapers, you do not know what is going on in the world.
Scary! I have had a home computer and Internet access for about two years and I have totally flipped out, on the maybe two occasions I could not get on the Net. I think now what did I used to do with my time off? I still read books and Magazines, but Newspapers? FERGETABOUTIT. LOL
