They would probably go on reddit and stack overflow all day. AKA, no change in behavior

Why would you want to go visit a tropical island and then spend all your time in front of a computer?

I want a remote controller for this remote island. That would be fun!

Two months? Unless there are any women around this could get slightly awkward after the first few days if an internet connection is provided.

lol. I'd hope I'd have the internet, if I was doing it, I'd like to have access to some coder resources, certain things won't necessarily be content you've got on your hard drive. Plus I like using web back ups.

As fun as it would be, I don't wanna pay the money.
