Good thing? or Bad thing?

I have become increasingly dependent upon my technology. Is that a good thing? or a bad thing? Well, my laptop went dead - no power. That's a bad thing. Of course it took several days before I could get out to get it looked at. Then discovered that it was the ac adapter. That's a good thing! (Not a problem in the laptop) I Ordered the part to be shipped directly from Toshiba to my house. That's a good thing! They are back-ordered. That's a bad thing! But they can send a battery next day. That's a good thing, 'cause I need one anyway. But a battery is no good without the ac adapter to charge it! That's a bad thing. For the last 3-4 yrs I have used a laptop exclusively (at work, at home, on the road - the same computer.) That's a been a good thing. But when it's dead, that's a bad thing. So I have been without my computer for over a week. I DO have, however, my Palm Treo 650! That's a good thing 'cause it has all my contacts, calendar, etc. But internet connection is limited because of the small screen & memory. So, no blogging, reading blogs, quick searches etc. Sorting through 40-50 emails a day is also a big pain. That's a bad thing. (I think!) Sooo, good or bad, I can't wait to get back to normal. (Whatever that is!) And by the way, is "normal" a good thing or a bad thing?
