What do you do while you're waiting for your computer to boot up or display....

I admit that I am on a very slow dial up net system. I live in the country and have very old phone lines. Also I can't get DSL so I am saving up towards a sattelite system. So, while I am waiting for the computer to boot or for the site to come up on line I find other things to do. Right now I am putting the finishing touches on projects I am doing for a craft show in two weeks. What do you do while you're waiting for your computer?

I have road runner broad band, but using windows 98 and that is almost like having dial up..Not only is it slow, but there are times when I have to restart the whole system..So I either do some housework or read or if I am in the middle of a project, I will work on that..

Oh I take that time as an opportunity to exercise while sitting I slowly pull my belly in as far as I can. Then I hold it in for a count of ten before slowly releasing it. Then repeat as many times till my computer is ready. I also do other stretching exercises either with my hands and feet everytime I am waiting for the files to get downloaded. That way I am doing something great for my body while waiting rather than wasting the time doing nothing. I believe I should use every second and every minute of my time productively.
