I did this too! Having no interenet at home I would take a box of floppy disks to the library every day and save articles on C programming, OpenGL programming, and the raw weather satellite images from the NOAA - I was trying to re-create the 3D weather fly-over I saw in Jurassic Park when I was 7. I agree - having that disconnection was ultimatly good because it made me think a lot for myself rather than just google a solution, it developed my fundimentals a lot.
