There are too many times when you're on a plane or for whatever reason can't get internet.

Also, Internet goes out. It happens. There's a storm. An internal network breaks. Power goes out (but laptops still work). I don't want any of the myriad ways I can lose my connection to the Internet to render my computer completely inutile.
