Oh, for heaven's sake. Can we please get a grip? The only way that any such thing could have a chance at working is if computers, internet access and email were all viewed as essential commodities, in much the way that the telephone is. Somehow, I can't imagine that happening any time soon. (If nothing else, internet services providers have been fighting tooth and nail to prevent access from becoming any sort of required commodity; that allows them to charge what the traffic will bear.) Eventually, we'll figure out what on earth is going on in Trenton, of all places, and things will probably settle down a bit.
