You can always put your LAN connection in the tray and right click on
it and disable the connection. Of course that only works for the
computer you're currently working on.

I have a firewall icon in the system tray, and it takes 3 or 4 seconds
to reach for the roller ball, move the cursor to the icon, rt-clk, select
Disable, and left-clk. A quick reach to slap a top-mounted button
works much faster.

Of course that should have been "select Block Traffic".

Good point! Maybe I'll have to resort to the old RJ45 A/B switch
box that I used to use. It's a manual rotary switch that I used to
switch my PC between DSL and cable, and it has a center OFF
position that can be used to cut the connection. It cost me $15
at Fry's Electronics a couple years ago.
