I have a cable modem and use Comcast for my ISP. Today around 7:30 AM my connection went down. I happen to have other coworkers that also use Comcast and they went down as well. It did not come up until 5:00 PM.
While I had other things that I could do that were not related to the Internet, it was quite amazing how much of an impact having no Internet access caused.
What was the temperature outside? What was going on in the world? (See below) Hell, how do you look up anything in MSDN or the MS Knowledgebase? Also, communicating with coworkers had to be done via the telephone instead of IM or EMail.
Lastly, when I finally came back up I had 40 Emails to go through.
Today, while I did not have Internet access, Apple announced the iTunes product for Windows. I will be downloading it this evening!
