    The five plus hours a day includes 6 to 8 at work.

    3-4. And I'd say a good half of those hours are PackerRat related.

    5+. I am either sitting at my computer desk doing my homework, writing programs, reading for classes (pdf is replacing the book at platteville it seems), or surfing the net.

    At work, 10-12 easy. For personal, maybe an hour or two depending on the day.

    I'm on probably 3-4 hours a day and I find it mind numbing yet I still sit here. It's one of my goals to not go on so much. There are better things to do but today I didn't have many outdoor options as it rained. ALL day. I'm fine when it comes to video games. I usually play video games once a week or sometimes once every 2 weeks yet I can't seem to get away from my computer. When I'm bored this is where I go.

    It's seasonal for me. During the summertime it's either side of an hour most days, but like now when things outside are getting less and less and I get layed off for the winter, it'll climb up to 6-7+ a day very easily

    It all depends on how many times I need to play with myself during the day.

    I'm right there with you, Fosco. Same story for me.

    Yeah, I'll have to see how much I'm at the laptop at my new project - a lot of my days are spent in meetings/etc. I did a lot more work on the PC when I was a senior/new associate. I do more management now but still am tied to the thing pretty much all day

    Imagine if we didn't have computers - especially PCs. It'd be a very dif't world.

    Actually, it is the opposite. Paper consumption has gone up because of computers.

    Printing more? Why is that? You'd think they'd do a lot more electric records.

    I work a full time job for a prepress company on a Power Mac G5 using Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, et.c

    Have a side freelance web business that I do also. Plus surfing at PackerRats, I am pretty much shackled to the sucker!

    8+ hrs a day at work, M-Fri. 2-6hrs a day at home working on my recording projects and general web surfing you can't do at work (wink, wink - nudge-nudge)

    All that and I actually maintain a social life - I'm betting that I am certainly not the norm in this regard.

    I dunno, I bet a lot of peeps are on the computer that much now a days. It's pretty much the #1 source of entertainment. I am on constantly than on weekends I go out and have a great time! Hurray for social lives!!

    ditto.

    Another question would be how much time spent on e-mail?
