 MR> yeah but get with the times.  we are online all the time now. nobody is
 MR> really using a computer that is off the internet.

Personally, I'm totally concerned with what other people use; I have my own preferences for what I like to use, and I agree with him that I wouldn't want to use a computer that requires you to be online in order to use it.  Even though we're basically online all the time, that shouldn't be a requirement. In the rare event that my internet service drops for some reason, I'd still like to be able to work on things on my computer.
