I'm going to be going out of town for a few weeks, and I don't want to get out of touch with everything. I want each morning and each evening my computer to boot up, check my POP E-mail and forward new messages to my hotmail account. Also that it would download comic strips from the internet to my home hard drive. After which time, it can either remain on for an hour or so, so I can dial in remotely to access my hard drive, and then shut down.
