Well, Isle Royale would be great, but reason has to prevail in this one. Isle Royale has a few serious drawbacks for all-the-time living; no electricity (solar panels can be installed, yes, but they cost a LOT), Winters to end all Winters, etc...
...soooo, I'm going to put in my second-favorite place in the world: Grand Marais. It's just a very nice place, in my opinion. It's a pretty homey part of Michigan, with a nice landscape, people, stuff like that.
I think it would be nice to buy a small house there, with a a garage to hold all of my computers/computer projects. As for the house itself, I plan for the downstairs to be mainly a writing workshop, papers strewn all over the place, notebooks, pens, pencils and an old writing computer in the living room, and old, wonderful poems on the walls of the kitchen.
The upstairs would be computer-mania; there would be a little studio to one side jam-packed with old and new systems, plus drawers galore, full of disks, cables, replacement parts, old wireless modems, general computer doodads and spare screen digitizers. To the other side, I plan for there to be my bedroom, with a small bed in the middle and a very large amount of bookshelves on every wall, with more books than you can imagine on them. To one wall, I plan for there to be a very small, very old computer just for keeping a journal and some other writing.
Just that, with little else, would be the best imaginable place to live, for me.
