But I found that I was STILL checking my email once a day, and I was doing it in the middle of the day because that's when internet cafes are open. Now, with a netbook, we can check email during down time if we have wifi. If we don't have wifi, we can write emails & blog posts and upload them next time we're in range. It's allowed us to better separate travel time from computer time. I used to be the same way – totally swore off anything electronic except my music.
