I am a very large user of the web, to read news, to buy things, to research subjects, pay bills etc. However, last night after a 12 hour long work day and trying to balance a last minute business trip with family obligations I went web dead.

Could not buy a present online, web slowed down, could not think of what to do, shops were closed that late at night.

Next time someone asks me why you did not get the present for your wife, I will say I went Web dead, not brain dead. Always, good to blame the internet for your problems. We could not do that 10yrs ago, even though I tried with my Mosaic browser.
