I have to laugh. The first problem is that the display will be too dim
to read. But that won't really matter because I will have turned off
everything that makes the computer usable.

I don't mean to disparage what you say, because it is good to have a
list of culprits. It's just that for a lot of people (like me) it is
unrealistic. My mouse is bluetooth, I need my USB flash drive, I need
to get on the net and mostly the only way to do so is with wireless,
and my favorite browser is Firefox. What's a dude to do?
