Without a doubt, the most productive time in getting through my inbox is when I'm on an airplane, sans Internet access. This week I'm exploring Freedom to help me accomplish the same result. Essentially, Freedom disables all wireless and ethernet networking on an Apple computer for up to 3 hours at a time. After the time is up, Freedom will re-enable your network adapters and display a confirmation that you're back online. If you absolutely need to pull the cord and MUST get back online, just restart your computer to reset. Let me restate that: just stopping or quitting the Freedom application will not re-enable your network adapters - and yes, this is purposeful! Freedom is a program designed to help you get things done, away from the distractions of network connectivity. http://www.ibiblio.org/fred/freedom/
