I think we both were in disbelief that we weren't going through severe withdrawals without our computers. Guess being with a FEW Freepers in person equals to being with hundreds on the computer. As soon as I got home, though, I headed straight for the keyboard!!
The best of both worlds would be to have a laptop at the bar with us!
That's been done already, as well as FReepers hosting threads live from FReeper events (i.e. a FReeper with a laptop at the House Managers' Dinner in DC posting details as they were happening).
Hey Howlin .. whadda ya think .. A Live Thread???
