How often to you use your computer ?

The scary part is I never really thought about it until your post Mike.

<--- addict..


You use these things for so much now. From reading, to entertainment, movies, music, games, game development, photography, photoshop, graphics, flying simulation (from learning to fly to having fun to developing planes or scenery or paint schemes, etc). Chatting with people online, on other sides of the planet.

Goodness.. All of my friends are people online, lol...

By the way, FaceBook is addictive... Thanks alot Michael... :isadizzy:

I did not know you have FaceBook, Lionheart? :pop4:
 
My computer's on about 10-14 hours a day. I do the same stuff that Mike and everybody else listed: check news, weather, e-mail, my model railroad forum sites, Flightsim.com for new stuff, do some tweaking and flying in CFS2 and FS9, and of course I'm always hanging out here. :)
 
I was talking to Linda this morning about how much time we spend on the internet and it makes ya wonder what did we do before we had internet..lol. Work is one thing but to come back home and jump on it again...lol...Mike
 
Constantly...If not my PC, then my laptop or Ipod. I don't know how I would get by without the internet. I'll be laying there trying to sleep, and then I'll think of something and have to look it up on wikipedia or I won't be able to sleep. Wikipedia and Youtube are my two lifesavers.
 
You know what's funny to me, when Linda and I go on vacation and I leave the laptop and everything at home. In the morning it so weird and the evening is the same way...lol I guess it's call withdrawal.:173go1::icon_lol: ..Mike

Imagine checking in a hotel room,

They do not have TV's

There was No internet....

No computer...

My cellphone did not even work....

There is a phone in the room that you can order room service and that was it....

I thought I was going to die.... :isadizzy:



I had a great time, had an awesome vacation.... it was in some Jungle Out there!

You know that Eli, that sounds real good...... and a hell of a good time too. No worries, no cares... just good old fashoin relaxation. :d

We're too dependent on all that stuff, and life is just passing us by.
 
Was dat a hotel or a pup tent...lol.....I can do without most of that ...when we go on a cruise, believe it or we don't carry our cell phones,ect..ect and we don't watch TV. We are so tired when we go back to the room, we just pass out. What really sucks is we miss so much of the night activities on a cruise because we are slam worn out by what we did all day.Linda is not a morning person at all but when we cruise, she is wide open at 5:00am and ready to go.She has a sleep disorder and hardly sleeps, but I guess the slow rocking of the ship, when she goes to sleep on the boat she sleeps like rock.

I have cut back to about 2 hrs/day. Since my hand got repaired, I spend more time painting (watercolor), automating my wife's greenhouse and catching up with about a years worth of chores around the house and the yard.:running::running::running::running:

ChaCha...

Sounds like you accidentally rented a 'sensory depreviation chamber'... I dont know how I would be able to handle it..
:kilroy:
 
I get up just before noon every day and stay up to until about 3ish am. Other than when I'm doing chores around the house or out messing with our horses, I'm on my comp. This and CalClassics are the only Flight Sim forums I frequent but there is the Quarter Moon Saloon, MarlinOwners for my shooting fix and HorseCity for the horsey stuff. Between those and the online news and e-mail, I spend most of my day on the comp.

Oops, I forgot about helping Mrs Willy with her Farmville game on Facebook. But that don't take much time either.

ETA: This is just my winter hours. Once the weather warms up I'll be spending more time outside, usually with the horses or yard work or helping my father in law with his farm.

Drat! Forgot the main reason I've even got a comp now. My nightly online flight with the guys!
 
On at about 3-5 AM... off around midnight


Work rig is on at 8:30 and off at 5 PM..
 
Never use the damn things. Design all my planes in my head, then upload them thru the USB port in my ponytail.
 
I'm on it a lot. Lately I've picked up more work than I know what to do with. I did manage to take Christmas off. I've been getting up by 4AM and have a few hours of work done when my wife gets up. In the evenings, my wife watches her shows and I watch my games on the laptop with a Hava box in my office.

The sudden workload has been surprising. It started a few months ago with some smaller jobs in Canada. Then it it expanded exponentially in no time. I've had to turn down jobs because I didn't have the time to squeeze them in.
 
I work ona PC 8 hours five days straight, and then I usally spend 2-4 hours more on my own PC.


How much time do I spend on PCs? Too dang much.
