There are advantages to working off line:

No one is e-mailing me and breaking my train (clown car) of thought
That e-mail that is waiting to be sent when I land can be edited again and again before pressing send, thereby reducing the amount of profanity
The excuse of "I was in the air...couldn't connect" is probably good for another decade

So not being able to connect can sometimes have it's benefits.
