I am merely letting my imagination run wild a bit. A CDROM will probably be
able to survive an E-bomb attack but I wonder if there's any hardware or
software or PC circuitry left to run it? Even the phone lines and your
handphone would be dead.

My mechanical M6 (now a glorified M-P, perhaps sans meter) and my automatic
Seiko will still be working. Seems like life will still go on but like one
century ago.
