Can you not touch your computer for a whole day? This should be quite an interesting experiment.

That will be tough!

Can it still be on and downloading stuff, as long as you don't touch it?

Can I touch my computer with a stick?

Nope Henry, it's gotta be off.

Personally, I'm downloading Castlevania off XBLA today, so I'll just play Xbox all day tomorrow.

TIAL.... shush.

No problem I am going to be on holiday without a computer in sight... Come on you weaklings you can do it

 

[Syndyre]

I could, as long as my phone doesn't count as a computer though, that'd be taking it too far.

 

[bwana]

I'll gladly do it . . . if the spammers promise to do the same

I beg to differ, the PS3 is a computer but the 360 is but a humble gaming console. In fairness, I WILL be disconnecting my 360 from XBL.

What is a computer?

A computer is a machine for manipulating data according to a list of instructions.

Furthermore - its got a hard drive, cpu(s), a GPU, input devices, an optical media device, networking capabilities, and an operating system - its a computer

 

[BCO]

Don't ruin my dreamz, Bwana.

 

[AntiThesis]

Yeah I have to agree with Bwana Bluecollar

It's got to be all or nothing

I'll be shutting down my numerous PCs Should be fun.

Subject: Clarification on shutdown day, please


Hey Denis,

Does an Xbox 360 count as a computer? I'd like to participate, but I'm not sure I can manage no gaming at all for a whole day


I would, of course, disconnect my 360 from xbox live.


Thanks for the help,

Carl

Hopefully he replies
