[QUOTE="Wombat, post: 2063975, member: 8447"] We had an amusing time with a player and his laptop. Two of my players are massive technophobes, not owning or wanting computers and many other modern objects, but then there is Big Papa and his love for all things shiny and beeping. So, determined to drag us all into the 21st century, he created a new character entirely on his computer (no paper version at all) and hauled this object to our already crowded table, forcing the last of the snacks out of general reach. Still, he beamed proudly at his ability to keep everything in the laptop. Then there was the problem. He lost his job. This was a company laptop. Oh sure, he got his own to replace it (and a new job, he is doing just fine)... BUT He never transfered the character stats to disk, or e-mailed them, or almost anything else... So now his character is locked away in his ex-job's computer locker ... forcing him to create a new character ;) I love the convenience of technology. :p [/QUOTE]
