How many hours in front of computer?

Normally between 10-12 hours but when things get hot in the tropics I may be almost around the clock. :)

I spend 8 hours in front of the computer at work unless I run errands. I can't hardly get on at home because George hogs the computer. :roll:

PC usage time went down from about 8 hours average to less than 2 hours. Some days even less w/other things, projects, work, and spending time with friends.

I usually spend 4-8 hours on one a day, depending on the day of the week. I am taking several classes online so that takes up most of my internet time now.

With work, school, S2K, and working on my webpage, a total of at least 10 hours a day or as much as 14. However, like most here, 8 of those hours are at work.

I'm online frequently. When you have nothing else to do, and everything and anything at your fingertips 24 hours a day, it can easily happen.

I used to be on 4-6 hours a days - now, I'm reduced to about
2 hours. I can't get time to log in, most days, at work, and,
so, I hit the Net when I get home.
