IRC
Seriously, I have many irc friends, and keeping up with them is a full time job by itself.. you have access(24/7 net I would imagine between work/hotel) get on irc and chat - I personally can be found at irc.worldassault.net # damit - ask for Zipster:)
No, can't say that I have.... But I have known a lot of 70, 80 and 90 year olds and as they look back at thier lives time with loved ones is what they treasure the most. I guess I have yet to meet one that wishes they had a ledger in thier hand on thier deathbed, if you do when you are on yours, drop my children an email, for like you say , you are very rare.
NO ONE EVER died saying "I WISH I had spent one more day in the office" - they die wishing they had spent one more day seeing thier kids, or smelling flowers or watching trains or seeing baseball or ANYTHING but being in the fsking office. get a clue folks

Let us not forget that the current mantra actually dates from a book published in 1949.
That mantra is of course - "War Is Peace" the book of course is 1984 by George Orwell. A perpetual war state is need to keep the masses in line and so whipped up into a frezny so they dont think about the rest of thier "prole" lives.
I remember being a kid and being let out of school to watch the first one come into Dullus Int. in Virginia. My school was right in the flight path and the pilots brought her in low and slow to show her off, it was quite a sight. We then got to drive out to the airport and look at her on the tarmack, bent nose and all, I will miss those planes.

"I could pop the hood on my car and figure out how it works."
Very true - BUT - you do not have the machine shop/rubber plant/custum steel mill to make it happen. At best you might be able to make a part or two. Even those who have home machine shops ( like me) shudder at the work involved to even make a modern carburator. In software however many folks have the ability to completely rebuilt the it. It is very different and the software companies know this.

So I lend my phone to my female co-worker and as she tosses her hair back to use the phone, all my porn comes on the screen ....great, just great.
...and in fact 1984 is the year that the main character guesses it is....because in reality know one knows what yearit is.
