I'd probably get into drugs.
Well, that's just plain sad.
Me, I'll probably live through it, somehow. Although that does mean I'll be bored more often.
Well, without computers I wouldn't be able to keep contact with my family back in Russia and that would be pretty devastating.
why not? send a letter?
It takes 2 weeks for a letter to travel and without those weird letter-sorting machines wich are, in a sence computers, it would take about 3 months. Anyway, enough of my whinging, what would you do?
After a brief bout with insanity I would just wander off into the woods, build a cabin, farm, and hunt wabbits.
Honestly I think computers are the only thing that keep me from doing that ;D. That damned electricity thing.
Lots of people scare me.

I'd probably do more exercise, watch more tv, have a nice warm spa (hot tub), all the things mentioned at the end of MI2, then I'd invent a computer and become really rich, start a company called Macrohard.
I think I could live more healthily without a computer, there's always telephone to keep intouch with family, eventhough it's more expensive, there wouldn't be that much of an easier way to keep intouch, appart from letters.
I like junc's idea, just head out into the bush and set up your own life in the wilderness, although it would be good if the setting was like the one in the movie "the beach", I could live somewhere like that, and not care about computers, well, maybe just a laptop, a copy of AGS, the manual, a paint program, a music program (if not a steel drum will do) sit on the beach and make games, swim, fish, drink, fcuk, and wish to heck that the bottle I sent out to sea with all my technical questions will get answered before herman gives me back my banana picker.
I'd probably do some real work for a change.
Who am I kidding?
I'd sink into excessive masturbation like everyone else would.
I'd read more , go insane, and make fancy cheeses. (In that order!)
I'd get in to Botswana's satanic community, do drugs, pity myself and eat my cat. i do not know in what order.
I'd be dreadfully bored, but I'd still pursue filmmaking and music. Analog though :(
I'd draw more on paper.. without AGS, I'd probably have to make choose-your-own-adventure flip-books.
id be very, bored, & :(, but make my other half very very happy!! :-\

Then CJ would abandon his human shape and rise to Heaven healed by a chorus of angels, while the AGSers cry... Then Helm would become the first AGS church pope and two thousand years after a crazy integrist AGAST religious should crash two planes in our two biggest towers...
Edit: I don´t want to make fun about terrorist strikes. I hate them. I´m just making a post about how the religion rises from nothing, and then it´s misunderstood by the greedy chuch men.
Oh Yeah!
Move to a mediterranean island.
Do consoles count? If they do...
I'd probably go back to skateboarding, or play my guitar ALOT more....or copy MonserSasha.
Or I'd have to spend time with.....my parents. :o
I'd probably have a life, a girlfriend, some money, and a job :D

I'd buy a piano, and become the next [insert composer here]

Really? heh. ["We just got a letter, we just got a letter, we just got a letter. Wonder who it's from?"]
i'd probably have less to complain about...
I'd be a rockstar.
Dammit.
I'd play more soccer.
...and wasted a lot of money for p0rn magazines, since I couldn't get it free from the net anymore... ...no, really!
Actually I often think world would be a better place without computers. Or even without any inventions. Just people in level of cavemen and... ...DINOSAURS! They're must! And then, oh, nevermind...
well, I'd be out of a job, so I'd go find a new one...
I'd go work out more and put on some weight...
play soccer..
and write
I'd invent a computer and earn lots of money ;D
I'd probably get laid more..
No.. Wait.
I mean..
I'd get laid finally.
I'd keep going with my band...without a webpage.
i'd probably wonder where all the computers went and be sad for all the people in planes that crashed and cars that crashed and trains that crashed and dams that busted and patients in hospitals that died and pacemakers that stopped and nuclear power plants that exploded
stupid aliens taking away the technology we stole from them!
I'd just spend more of my time playing guitar and making music, which wouldn't be so bad. I'd miss it all for sure, but people have lived without computers and survived fine in the past.
Well, my job as a computer/network techie/admin/support person would be quite a lot easier. So I'd just sit in my office all days and enjoy The Silence of the Phones.
I hope they wouldn't sack me.
Well, my dad would be jobless, all his skills would be useless, we would have to refund hundreds of dollars to our clients who paid ahead, and the certificates on the wall would be just pieces of paper...
I would start a new life, and re-create Roger Foodbelly IRL ;D
On second thoughts, I'd do what I've been wanting to do (and have been practising) all my life. I'd make a cartoon series. Rodney McNab.
Create a computer and instead of getting rich, I'd just rub it in everyone's face I have one.
scrap my last post! if there was no puters i'd be very happy! our stupid computer went tits up after a power cut, it took from login to finish loading messenger, anti virus etc, 10 minutes! soo did check disk, was fine, it freaked when we tryed a defrag, so i had a clean out, still no better :-\ out of interest i check systems manager, our CPU had gone from a 800mhz to a 375!
rebooted in safe, it was ok, boot in XP still 375. checked BIOS that was ok...........so after a lot of pissing about, the one last hope, took the bios battery out! and it fixed it!
happy with my achievement i went to do the walkies for my sprite....i'd deleted the feckin thing in my cleanout! :'(

Become a Porn Star.
I'd build a new one.. since i've done it once, why not?
Create the world's most amazing sandwich!
I'll be hated whenever I want to remove one character from a page after proof-reading...
Become a homicidal rapist, no doubt.
Steal a nuclear bomb and hold the world hostage until they give a computer. And if i never got one, I would just blow up the moon and put myself in hibernation, setting my shuttle's coordinates towards a planet in the Alpha Centauri system.
I'd give the world a gift and colourize the ... MOON!

I love that show. I wish they'd never cancelled it. If all the computers disappeared I'd probably just watch it all the time.
