This is bad. Let;s extend the same principle to everything then. How about forcing car manufacturers to include an option to put a competitor's engine in the car. E.g. Mercedes must provide an option where the user can put a BMW engine in the car. In my opinion it makes not sense.

I agree that you should try and forget internet. However if you cannot for reasons I do not know I suggest the following: Get a mobile phone with a contract (3G phone). You will then be able to connect through your mobile to send email or update a blog. BTW. I suggest you use Twitter. You can update your status through SMS. You are limited to 140 characters so you will be to the point. In this way you will be able to update relatives and friends. Good luck. The sea is great.
