Technically it'll be easy for me.

I'm flying to Austria that day to go snowboarding so wont be near a computer anyway.

But if the planes shut down their pc's.....

Switch the pc off? Im having a hard time at the moment waiting for my replacement fan for my laptop I have to get out of bed in the morning to chek DF where before I could stay in bed.

I think we can say that a laptop isnt very good for sledging or snowboarding. I like the curling at the end.
