Too long is probably the best answer for me.

On my days off, I get up to eat and go to the toilet lol.

Need to cut back...missus is getting increasingly annoyed!

It's amazes me - when I think about it - how much time I spend tweaking various things on my computer: much more than I spend doing anything really useful on it.

My PC's like a running tap, it's on half the time even when I'm not using it. I have my excuses ready though cos I am usually downloading lol.

Mainly use my PC as a gaming/multimedia hub. Everything that can gets played through it. Convenience.

Umm.... I work from home, so I spend 9 hours a day for work, then probs a few more for play. Tho some days, I've been known to spend 30 hours straight..

dkRookie
3rd May, 2008, 11:05 PM
Same here! I work from home 3 days a week and often do a weeks worth of hours in those 3 days. Nice thing about my current arrangement is I get paid overtime, a good thing as its difficult to stop working when your at home.

I'm on it 7.5 hours a day at work.

When I come home, it's switched on after shovelling my dinner down my neck, and I spend another 5-6 hours glued to it.
--
I changed jobs recently, we had to use 2 x PC's at the same time, but the sods had tied each of them down & all activity was logged, so all surfing was stopped.

After 3 weeks of that, I told them where to stick it & I'm now back with my previous employer :)

11th May, 2008, 05:47 AM

8hrs a day at work for me, some hours at the weekend. but to be fair I got so much going on with DIY and fixing other peoples computers at the mo I hardly get the chance to get online in the evening before I'm beckoned. Women just don;t understand. ;)

work allday on a computer, but its not the same! its not fun when its on a large network being "watched"!

computer hasnt been switched off for weeks, got dual screens so I watch sport or films on one screen and surf download or play games on the other. Actual time sat at the pc around 7 hours a day.
What a sad life I lead.

I'm retired and spend an average of 4 hours a day. On the PC it's to update and upgrade software. On the Internet it's for news and shopping.
