Like everyone else has posted, it is invaluable to me. Paying bills, emailing friends, researching, learning (was there life before Google???), news from all corners of the globe etc etc.

I think however the most important thing to me is the friendships I have developed over the internet. I belong to a very close knit message board (we all own the same timeshare) and over the years we have become each others family. It makes me proud to say that we are all different ages, backgrounds, religions, colors, and there is a bond that has formed that distance can never break. We have helped each other bury parents, bury friends, divorces, marriages, births, illnesses, happy times, and most of all carried each other when one needed carrying. We all now plan trips to our timeshare (Disney Vacation Club) the same weeks, and spend many days and nights enjoying together what we love most in the world. We always get the most laughs when we are all seated at a table, the most diverse group you could imagine, and people ask how we know each other...we answer the INTERNET of course! :bigthumbsup:
