You should probably buy a 2nd PC

Help, I can't download EVE

Walk around aimlessly for a while, trying to remember what you did with your free time before EVE. Got to EVEGate and read forums. Research some esoteric stuff in EVElopedia articles. Commandeer somebody else's PC, spend an hour installing EVE, end up playing about one hour total on it over the course of a week. That's what I did. Straight

I spend a lot of time in a corner crying. And I'm not talking about a tear or 2 and some whimpering every now and then, I mean the whole nine yards. One should never have to see a man reduced to that, it's sadder than a Sarah Mclachlan commercial.

Real men build their own machines and are not restrained by mere tech support.

I build and maintain my own gamers.... But I have been cut off from the Internet a couple of times. I go through withdrawals and start to fidget. I need my Internet/gaming fix. In times like those, I'll go thru an anime marathon until my Internet is back up and running. It helps.

Having, in my short time in Eve, learned a whole new terminology, I would now just "awox" one of the kid's Pc's! and, so long as they don't tell Mummy, I can harvest the tears too Twisted

I was going to suggest something similar but with the neighbor's default-configured WiFi router. It's amazing how many people leave the default passwords on those things...
