I have been using a computer for about 7 years now, but I would go crazy if I didn't have one. I used to not know a thing about them but have learned alot over the yesrs and earn online daily with it. Would you go crazy without your computer?

I do go crazy without it. I went online in 2001, 7 years ago like you, and it has become so important to me that I go through withdrawal without it. I've had 4 computers since '01, all but one a gift from friends and family...it's like they have mercy on me because they know what I'm like without my beloved computer.

You are the first person I know of who is actually making a full-time income on-line. What is your secret?

This is mt second computer in 7-8 years. As soon as my old one wouldn't work any longer and the warranty exoired, I went straight to the store and bought another one. I have to have mine to make my money every day to help my family. I don't want to have to go back out in the real world any more to get it.

Ha ha ha.......dear stepfy, it is not only you and me, I think half of the world will get crazy if they didn't have computer.....we are not only crazy but addicted to our computers. Each one has made his or her own world in computer and you just cannot stay out of your world...I would really get completely shocked, if suddenly I will be told not to use PC any more. It seems like a bad dream, which I know will never come true.......:)) have a nice day .....

Oh I have gone crazy without mine because I had computer issues also that I could not fix without having to pay and talk to a bunch of people at the manufactures to help me fix the problem. It took 3 days of phone calls and talking to several representatives before finally getting it fixed. that drove me crazy not being able to use my computer and having to go through all of that! Have a great day too....

Yeah I would, I have withdrawal symptoms on days I cannot get on it..lol I have used computers for about 8 years but didn't actually get one till 6 years ago and didn't have internet until about 2 years ago and boy was I happy not having to go to my moms to get online I would spend the weekends at her house so I could talk to friends and family online. My mom is who bought my computer for me on my birthday. I try to earn daily with mine. That is how I pay for my internet each month with my earning on different sites.

Same here. I earn online every day and make well enough more to pay for my internet service also. I made $4000.00 last year and this year looks like ti will be a couple thousand or more than that. I love my computer because it is very convenient to pay bills and do online banking also.

I would go out of my mind. It is not that I do a lot of senseless surfing, or look for inappropriate sites, but I write and I do not want to make any errors, so rather than use a typewriter and waste lots of paper I will use my spell checker on my computer on Word, to check if the word is spelled right and the grammar to see if I got it at least a bit better. It is also handy to look up information without having to take a bus to the library assuming that it is open at the time, and if my husband is not going that way anyway. I can also earn a bit of money that is helpful, although I find that takes a bit more time.

I have been working online off and on for about fifteen years. A friend of mine started me out on his computer. He showed me how to use the search engine to find sites that offered free samples. I love to save money and get free stuff in the mail. Once I got started I could not stop. I have upgraded computers several times now. I am not happy when I am away from my computer for too long. I find that I love to work point sites. I also like the fact that I now earn a little money for the things I love to do online. My friends can not believe how much I make or how much free stuff I get. I have shown many how to do the same. The computer is my friend. My husband does complain a little when I spend too much time on the computer. However, he loves the fact that I use my money to take the family on vacation every summer. I just bought a laptop computer so that I can take it on vacation and that way I do not go through withdrawl when I am off line for too long. LOL. My husband and daughter neither one will let me take the computer with me on vacation. They say it takes away from quality time with the family and I guess they are right. However, when we get back then I am online twice as long just catching up. I guess you can say I am a computer addict.

Same here. I get Paypal money, checks, gift cards, free stuff in the mail to test, and more. I am addicted to earning online because it is so easy and you do not have to leave the house. My family needs my extra support also. I made $4000.00 last year and this year will be even better.

I have had a computer in my life for almost a decade now, although the last five years has been primarily aimed at creating a website, maintaining it, earning money online through writing, blogging, selling, marketing, webdesigning, counseling and promoting all the resources I have on my site for Spirit, Mind & Body improvement. I am stressed out quite a bit if the computer is down for a day so I could imagine being completely 'bonkers' if I did not have one at all. This would be temporary though, cause before I had a computer I had a bit more of a life--well socially and my house never saw me, my cat never knew me, and my friends said well why did you buy a house again ? So, the computer, Internet, work-at-home mode and a masters degree in Transpersonal Psychology has made me quite the home-body & I LOVE IT !! sharing the light and happy new year, Miss Erica Hidvegi, the Enlightenment_Advisor, B.A. Psych/M.A. Transpersonal Studies- Cnslng/Author, Artist, Photographer, Entrepreneur & Freelance extraordinaire www.enlightenment-psych.net

That is a long time. It sounds like you are very busy online just like me. I do all of my earnings from home also from the internet and I love it.

Hello stephcjh, I don't know much about computer. I only use it to do my work and sometimes chatting with my husband. I think I won't go crazy without computer for a day but it might make my life incomplete *laughs*

I have been using computer for about 5 years. In fact I can say I am addicted and dependent on computer. When I was still in college, whenever we have projects or research and reports, I always make it online. I don't have computer before, but teachers always get me to do typing jobs at times, and the internet cafe inside our campus hire me at times to work there, in times they need to be somewhere and I always accept those offer cos it was an opportunity for me to use internet for free aside from getting a salary out it. Now that I finally got a computer, I feel uncomfortable whenever i can't open and surf even in just one day. But that does not mean, I go crazy without it.

Well I wouldn't actually go crazy. It is just a figureo of speech I used. I have to have my computer to make my money online and it would actually drive me crazy to have to go back out in the real world to earn again. It is easier doing it online and not have to deal with rude people.
12 Jan 08
I would. For sometime before I moved house, I had to go without. while my brother took the whole connection at my parents, where when I had the net and he didn't I was forced to lose out.. lol Here, I've had two days of down time and I hated it. ~Joey (not full days)

Are you kidding - I go into panic mood if I can't get on the computer for a day. I live on the internet and have to admit have been addicted since I first got connected 10 years ago.

LOL. I have been using mine for about 7 years now. I panic too if I have internet problems and cannot get the computer to work right to let me do the daily tasks. That drives me crazy and really stresses me out because it takes alot of time to figure out what is wrong sometimes.

Without A Computer - This is an image demonstration of what it would be like if you didn't have a computer.
I have been using a computer for 10 years now. As a PC Computer Technician I would not know what life would be like if I didn't have a computer or if computers never existed in this world. For all the activities and other things we can do on a computer: Email, use VOIP internet calls, chatting online, surfing the internet, using Myspace, I mean the list goes on and on. I would be bored out of my mind without a computer.

Right. I have to earn an income from home right now and my computer is the best way to do that. I have tried babysitting and other things and worked outside the home for years but I prefer my computer the most overall for now. I think alot of people like their computer, but some people could do well without one. Thanks for your response.
